Subject: 26.0.50; eieio-object-name-string circular obsolescence
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 09:05:06 -0700

The eieio.el library has this in it:

(cl-defgeneric eieio-object-name-string (obj)
  "Return a string which is OBJ's name."
  (declare (obsolete eieio-named "25.1")))

But if you go to the eieio-named class, in eieio-base.el, it works by
defining a method called... `eieio-object-name-string'.

Ie, if you use the recommended new method, you end up calling the old,
obsoleted method again.

Not a huge disaster, but a strange inconsistency.
