Macros are such a pain to write that what you're talking about is
amazingly difficult.

Meroon is pretty clean, comparatively.  It uses generic functions,
which you have to declare separately, but I found it a nice system.
It now has multimethods, so you can declare a function that works
on two or more classes.  It works on SLIB, so it runs on most
available Scheme implementations, plus it's integrated with the
S2c and Bigloo compilers.
