They are at the proper place in the class hierarchy as far as possible -- there are some structures that should be classes (eql-specializer, method-combination) and [standard-]generic-function still have the wrong metaclass and superclasses.

Thanks for taking a look.  Would you mind sending a backtrace or problem description?  I had some out-of-memory errors running the test suite, but I did a number of rebuilds yesterday and it works for me (start abcl under slime, find new classes, check class precedence lists etc.).

Correct, the one referenced from http://common-lisp.net/project/closer/features.html

I'm not so much running it as watching it crash into abcl limitations, like finding a struct when a class is expected -- I'll declare victory once it can run to completion and print a list of errors.
