To quote a famous computer scientist, ``ugh, bletch.''
I don't like this either, since it has nothing to do with
prefixes. We should say what we mean. How about
:writable-instance-variables? Excuse me, I mean :writeable-slots.
This has everything to do with prefix. Its intention is to create from
the slot-names accessors (readers) with names constructed with no
prefix. Gregor tells me we argued this before and decided NIL was the
way to do it. So be it. But not a different class-option.
