[Bese-devel] container.lisp refactor

[Attila Lendvai]

hi!

i've made the following refactoring to container.lisp:

Sat Mar 18 14:39:45 CET 2006  attila.lendvai at gmail.com
  * Refactored container.lisp

  Renamed simple-container to switching-container, clearly separated the
base
  container class functionality from the new switching container. After the
  refactor it is easier to use switching-container with dynamically
  generated content and in situations where the old 'label' property have
  no useful meaning (e.g. dinamically built tab pane). By default the new
'key'
  property is the component itself.

  User API changes (exported symbols):
   - simple-container -> switching-container
   - container.label-test -> container.key-test (also the initarg)
   - container.current-component-name ->
container.current-component-key(also the initarg)

  Generally 'label' has been renamed to 'key' in container, and
switching-container
  implementation is based on the component accessing functionality provided
by container.

i haven't uploaded it yet to the public repo, because i want to polish it a
bit more. i've got two questions:
- Marco, do you generally like this idea?
- should i change the container's underlying alist into a hashtable? this
may not be really important, because  as a GUI  component it will probably
have less then 30 contained components, but when this assuption breaks then
an alist does not scale too well.

but now back to the code,
