  rif> Does CMUCL do anything to enforce the types on class slots?

Gerd Moellman has been working on using slot type information for both
error checking and optimization. This has been added to CMUCL since
the 18e release, and is still experimental (but would benefit from
motivated testers!). The details of the optimizations, and the
circumstances in which they work, are described in the CMUCL User's
Manual in CVS.

Don't look for it in the manual on the web site, since that is for the
18e release. Formatting your own copy of the User Manual from the CVS
sources should be easy: just type "make cmu-user.pdf" in the
docs/cmu-user/ directory. I guess we could also distribute
preformatted documentation from CVS snapshots if there is much demand.
