    (AP) as an ideal candidate for a metaobject protocol (MOP) for
    objectoriented programming languages; we call it the APMOP. The major benefit of the MOP is to provide a mechanism for writing base-level programs in a structure-shy manner. Doing so, the programs are more robust to changes in the structural aspects of the applications. We describe AP/S++, an implementation of the MOP using the Scheme-based, object-oriented language S++.

    AP/S++ is a compile-time MOP and has no negative effects on the
    run-time performance of programs. The contributions of this paper are: (i) to show a new application for reflection; (ii) to clearly identify the abstraction boundaries of AP; and (iii) to
    propose an implementation of the MOP that can easily be reproduced in many object-oriented programming languages.
