Well, to some extent I can see your problem. Indeed there seem to be no
slots in the 'MOP:FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT class. The
layoutFuncallableStandardClass is what confused me, but that's indeed the
layout of the metaclass.

So, you're correct that the fix works by accident. The solution should be
to add a slot by the name 'MOP::NAME to the FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT.
That slot can contain the name of the object (ie function) for which the
item is defined. In that case, we should probably remove the direct slot
MOP::NAME on the standard generic function, since it's already defined on
the superclass if we decide to do that.


Bye,

Erik.
