:initform vs. :default-initargs

[Attila Lendvai]

dear list,

i wanted to set the default-component-class of our own system subclass using :default-initargs, but it's ignored because the slot has a :initform (as opposed to setting the default value using a :default-initargs entry).

in the current ASDF setup, i need to override the slot (or the accessor method), which involves messing with internal symbols.

if ASDF used :default-initargs then i could just override that using a :default-initargs entry on my own subclass (IIUC).

i'm sending it for your consideration, it's not a pressing issue on my side.
