The "Garnet" UI development environment & GUI for Common Lisp
[developed 1987-1994 at CMU, maintained since CMU stopped funding
it in 1995 by various users, most recently by Fred Gilham at SRI
(last update 2000-06-1)] was built on top of the "KR" ("Knowledge
Representation") prototype/instance object system. As the following
Cliki page notes, KR "is completely independent of CLOS and features
among other things multiple-inheritance and value propagation using
constraints, much like Cells or COSI do". If you're interested,
there's more information here:

Yup. I thought it was kinda cool to find a prototype/instance
object system with constraints & value propagation hidden under
a CL GUI rock, too.  ;-}
