Well, if you do not initialize slots with NIL, how can people know when it's safe to call an accessor? Checking SLOT-BOUNDP would mean that users have to know about internal implementation issues: the slot names. In ASDF, it's especially icky because slots tend to have different names than accessors, so you really have to look into the source. -T. _______________________________________________ asdf-devel mailing list asdf-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/asdf-devel
