Methods and Rules

Summary: Extends Datalog with methods, classes, inheritance, overloading and late binding by translating to Datalog with negation for uniform semantics. Compares static (C++-style) and dynamic resolutions, links to view specs and runtime class hierarchies, under stratified/well-founded semantics with standard evaluators.
