One thing that I do not understand is when I use accessor method on the
slot in the models, I do not get the value back. I would have to use
slot-value to get to it. Is that by design?

No, something is wrong. Send me some code that behaves as you say. If I 
had to guess, it would be something that often trips me up too: when 
Cells hits an error it sets a flag indicating it should cease 
functioning. So any Cells snippet one might invoke as a toplevel test 
should begin with (cells-reset) to clear that flag.

As a noob of course you are encountering errors regularly, and unless 
you got lucky you did not run across this Cells secret or if you did 
would likely not remember it, and this indeed sounds like Cells refusing 
to run (accessors go straight into Cells code), so this is a strong 
guess. But it is a guess. :)

You can probably just add (cells-reset) at the start of your test code 
and be OK. if not, send me some code.
