I would just say that CLOS (Common Lisp Object System) is not "standard" 
in the sense people take OOP to be nowadays, but able to encompass and 
go beyond the JAVA, C++, Python, etc, paradigm. This fact was 
demonstrated briefly on Paul Graham's ANSI Common LISP book, and 
elsewhere, and it's basically a satori.
