[elephant-devel] persistent vs persistent-object

[Glenn Tarcea]

Hey guys, I'm trying to understand why user classes inherit from  
persistent-object, rather than persistent (that is why is there a  
distinction and separation of functionality). I can see that the  
initialization for persistent-object uses more of the elephant  
classes (eg, all the different kinds of slot), and it kind of looks  
like internal Elephant classes that need access to the underlying  
infrastructure but don't need transient slots, etc... use persistent  
and then have greater control over the rest. Am I on the right track?

Thanks,

Glenn
