I have no worries that someone who is writing his own version
of make-instance could look in chapter 3 or 4 to find out how to do
error checking. Therefore, only a check-keyword-arguments that is
more generally useful justifies going beyond specifying a
procedural definition of make-instance that is reasonable only for
correct invocations of it.
I am now satisfied that your more general version of check-keyword-arguments can
be useful. It would be good to have this last issue for chapter 2
(check-keyword-arguments) settled, and am happy to have it as last specified.
