Re: Staticizing

I think this discussion is fruitful, and I'm interested in
seeing Gabriel's proposal. At the risk of seeming to postpone
the issue, however, I wonder if we could try to limit discussion
on Monday to Danny's original proposal of the metaobject protocol
(with perhaps some side discussion on issues where a certain
amount of closure has been achieved, like inheritence of slot
options, possibly initialization protocol for STANDARD-CLASS
instances)? 

I agree that the issue can't be relegated to the metaobject
protocol, since the issue of hooks into CL DECLARE and THE
should be resolved as well, but the metaobject protocol
may have a role to play.
