How to convert a CLOS program to COALTON.

There exist a book "The book of Shen".
It would be nice if someone could write "The book of Coalton". As i'm missing alot.

If you need to be able to access the objects from outside of Coalton, define them in Lisp first and then import the type to Coalton
(Defclass bank-account...

(Coalton-toplevel
(Repr :native bank-account)
(Define-type BankAccount))

If you just want it all in Coalton, use define-struct to make similar objects:
(Coalton-toplevel
(Define-struct BankAccount
(Customer-name String)
(Acct-number UFix)))

Unless you're going to have multiple structs using the same methods, you can just use regular function definitions. If you do want multiple structs/types using the same functions, use define-class to define a typeclass
