    I don't see what the problem is. Why is "It is left up to the
    implementation whether or not the DEFSTRUCT access
     function is declared inline." a problem at all?


I didn't raise this issue -- Kathy did. I'm not sure where she got it.

But since I happen to have endorsed it, I'll say why I did:

To keep people from having to write:

 (PROCLAIM '(INLINE FOO-A FOO-B FOO-C))
 (DEFSTRUCT FOO A B C)

I've seen this in portable code a number of times and it always turns my stomach.
