Hello Gary,

will this be changed in the upcomming release? I just recompiled bleeding-
edge-cvs and my original code still breaks. Where actually is that part of
the MOP implemented in the source files? I couldn't find the place where
the slot definition initargs are "canonisized" (i.e. the wrapping into lists
happens).

 Thanks RalfD
