setf of class-name

[Sonya E. Keene <skeene@STONY-BROOK.SCRC.Symbolics.COM>]

As far as I know, we still believe that setf of class-name should work,
but the writeup of class-name in Chapter 2 doesn't mention this.   

The following forwarded message is the last I've seen on this topic, and
it looks like both Dave and Danny believe setf of class-name belongs in
the spec.

    It should be stated in chapter one that a many-one association from
    symbols to classes is implemented by symbol-class and (setf
    symbol-class). An INDEPENDENT association from class to symbol is
    maintained by class-name and (setf class-name).  Neither of these setf
    functions effects the other association.  defclass is specified to do
    both (setf symbol-class) and (setf class-name).
  
I agree.
