It's a big old mess. It probably won't be resolved until PCL or some successor is more completely integrated with CMUCL.
If you're doing anything with the MOP you'll want to use the PCL versions. In McCLIM we use the PCL versions of class-name, class-of, find-class and standard class exclusively. You might want to use the technique of defining your own GILHAM-LISP package and using that instead of COMMON-LISP. Then you can pick and choose the standard symbols you want :) Tim On Wed, 23 Oct 2002, Fred Gilham wrote: > > I'm confused by the existence of cl:find-class and pcl:find-class, > along with class-name, class-of and whatever else is exported from > both the common-lisp package and the pcl package.
