Right. I was discussing the thing being defined, but was assuming that
any classes used in the definition would be instantiable. Its just a
question of whether that means that the programmer needs to use
(EVAL-WHEN (EVAL COMPILE LOAD) (DEFCLASS ...))
if the class is defined earlier in the same file.
