beach: i want to read through your make-method-lambda paper so i first went to read costanza's paper (i never finished it). i remember discussing a certain thing regarding macroexpansion time with you and how a certain example was off in costanza's paper

is MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA not called at runtime here (instead of at macroexpansion time)?

makomo
maybe i drew the wrong conclusions and it's actually supposed to be called at runtime (as i see COMPILE is being used explicitly later on)
17:34:32
makomo
however, section 2.3 explictily mentions MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA being called during the expansion of DEFMETHOD (and the problem of having to have the generic function metaobject available at macroexpansion time), so i'm not really sure what's going on

beach: now that i've pulled through and read further, i see that you discuss these things in your paper
