with-accessors
I presented the current state of CLOS to the people at MCC. When I got
to with-slots they said "hey thats biased against accessors". We came
up with the idea of with-accessors which is basically like the long form
of with slots.
This use of with-accessors:
(with-accessors ((x position-x)
(y position-y))
p1
(setq x y))
is equivalent to:
(let ((#:g1 p1))
(setf (position-x #:g1) (position-y #:g1)))
and is parallel to:
(with-slots ((x x)
(y y))
p1
(setq x y))
I think the MCC comment was good and captures a lot of the complaints I
have heard about the new with-slots. I think we should add
with-accessors to the spec.
