[Openmcl-devel] [off-topic] Adding a slot to a class using the MOP

[Pascal Costanza]

Check out AspectL, it provides exactly what you want.

However, it's also worthwhile spending some time on thinking about whether there is a better design for your problem. Adding slots like this creates a lot of problems. Maybe a typical hash table based meta class already provides what you need...

To do that, I need to reconstruct the argument to :direct-slots from the existing class definition so I can add a slot without disturbing the existing slots.  Before I went down this rabbit hole I thought I'd ask: is there a better/easier way to do this?  Surely I'm not the first person to want to do this.
