In EiffelStudio 6.2, Eiffel Information System (EIS) will be introduced. The goal of EIS is to provide a unified mechanism for linking development objects — classes and features, or even targets and groups — of Eiffel systems with external information. This term refers to information other than Eiffel program texts.

After abstracting some of the implementation details of the compiler's finish_freezing back-end and bettering automatic environment configuration, I found it being used in more and more places.
