	(ARGS 'FLATSIZE->CHARACTER-CLASS) => (5 . 5)
	Why not just (NIL . 5)?
    Because the SEND interpreter like to assume LSUBR format -- it
    does make for faster dispatching.  DEFMETHOD* creates method
    functions and puts in the *LEXPR declaration.
Correction:  The SEND interpreter *MUST* assume LSUBR format, or
assume it is not compiled, because LSUBR and SUBR pointers cannot
be distinguished!  The declaration is **LEXPR, not *LEXPR.
