    Why should there still  be three initialization protocls: "shared-initialize",
    "initialize-instance",  and "reinitialize-instance"?

    [Summary: replace reinitialize-instance with a keyword argument to
    initialize-instance --Moon]

Two reasons come immediately to mind: shared-initialize is also used when a
class is redefined or change-class is called; reinitialize-instance is to be
called directly by the user, but initialize-instance cannot be (review how
the keyword arguments get validated).
