re: By the way, although it's not really part of this, in the same project I
also had to extend DEFMETHOD to allow a parameter specializer name to be
a class rather than a class name. This was necessary because not all
classes have names. This was the only place in CLOS I could find where
a class object cannot be used where a class name is accepted, so I think
it's an inconsistency and would propose to change it if the CLOS language
were not stable.
That looks like a bug/oversight in the documentation of CLOS. Can't we
just agree that that's what was originally meant?
