Re: Naming

[Danny Bobrow <Bobrow.pa@Xerox.COM>]

    We need to decide by the end of the weekend what to do about
    naming. I strongly hesitate to make the change (if it can be said
    that one can strongly hesitate). If we make the change I prefer the
    terms NAME-<word> over SYMBOL-<word>. I worry that we will make an
    ugly mistake in doing this.

To avoid such ugliness, let us leave symbol-class and (setf symbol-class) with a
restriction to symbols.    

However, let us take out any restriction about what can be stored/returned from
class-name.  Then the dynamic-class hack can work using its own class lookup
mechanism, and class-name can contain the hint about what the class is.
