Goldstein and Bobrow eventually found a very interesting way toimplement these enriched objects: they used Smalltalk instances for each role/perspective. So a PIE object could be made from many Smalltalk objects.
I suppose they used a flat "perspective space", right? Some other proposals allow role inheritance, but that easily becomes a big mess.
How do you know which perspective to use at any given time? How do you switch between them?
Sorry about the questions, but there is essentially nothing online about PIE. I am trying (http://www.merlintec.com:8080/software/8) to come up with something similar.
