OK, I will probably add the accessor-method-related classes. For eql- 
specializer, I don't think it's a good idea to define a class because  
I define eql-specializer as a type instead. So there is probably now  
a nameclash between the type and the class here.

I have used the type definition for eql-specializer already in other  
CLOS MOP implementations, so Moptilities probably already has the  
conditionalization that would only be needed to be switched on for  
ecl. (But I am just guessing.) Maybe ask Gary King about this.
