Description

The macro def-kb-class defines a new CLOS class name class-name, as defclass does. However, if none of the superclasses in superclass-list is a subclass of standard-kb-object, then standard-kb-object is added to the list of superclasses.

slot-descriptions and options are used as in the standard defclass macro.

(def-kb-class truck (vehicle)
  ((load :accessor truck-load)))
