2.1.5 Built-in Objects

On top of providing facilities for creating objects and managing them, Sheeple also includes a series of built-in objects. These built-in objects, exported from the SHEEPLE package, play special roles in Sheeple. The consequences of modifying these objects from user code are undefined.

=T=
An ancestor of every other object, and is the only object with no parents. It sits at the obsolute top of all object hierarchies acting important.


=STANDARD-OBJECT=
An ancestor of all normally-defined objects. It has =T= as its only parent. It is mostly used for reply specialization, and in termination cases for functions which recurse up the parent-child hierarchy.
