Oh. Good question.  I'm not sure how it's done in prototype-OO langs.
I would think that if instance.ISA is set, then, in effect, I'm
saying "I am my own class!"  Specifically, it would bizarre (in a
cool kind of way ;-) for there to be two inheritance trees - one
defined by my own .ISA list, and one defined by the class into
which I'm blessed.
