8:06:33beachI wonder why Bike's text insists on thinking that MAKE-METHOD-LAMBDA is problematic despite my paper showing that it isn't.
8:07:28heisigYes, that is one point that needs discussing. There are others, too.
8:08:04heisigFor example, Bike wonders what happens when a user shadows MAKE-METHOD or CALL-METHOD. But both symbols are defined in the CL package, so shadowing them is simply not allowed.
8:09:32beachI guess I must not have read this post since it seemed to be addressed to you specifically.
8:09:42heisigIt is a shame that the rationale for some of the more arcane design choices of the MOP was never clearly documented. That would have saved a lot of discussion.
