thanks a lot!

Yes, there are some tricky bits around subtypep but it seems to be more
or less working or allegro.

Do you have any plans for a Clozure port?  I have briefly looked into it
and hit a problem with +unbound-slot-value+ in hu.dwim.computed-class.
Basically, perec uses a trick which is not portable (works on sbcl and
allegro but not clozure and clisp for example).  Not sure how much work
would this be to make this portable?

BTW, I have commited more patches and the Allegro port should now be
working with the new hu.dwim.perec.

Cheers,

Tomas
