GLS - Generic Little (Object, Type, Anything, ...) System

It provides multiple dispatch for Racket.

Differences from Swindle:

- Doesn't force you to change all. GLS is a small collection with a dozen of

  functions in API. It only adds generic functions.

- It based upon types, not classes. You may dispatch you function on any

  predicate you may imagine: `exact-integer?`, `(real-in 0 10)`, 

`(and? stream? (not/c stream-empty?))`, ...

GLS is based on Greg Sullivan's GLOS, that was witten for

scheme48. It has the same API, but without implemetation of own object system 

(glos-records). So GLS is not "generic little object system", but simply

"generic little system". But I added support for racket/class: you may use

class instead of type predicate and GLS correctly supports subtypes

(subclasses).

Sorry for bad documentation: for API look into  main.rkt, for examples of use

-- test.rkt.

Some description of GLOS is in the paper ref-dyn-patterns. 

Also, slides in proglangsandsofteng work

through some examples using GLOS.
