 CLASSES AND METACLASSES
 -----------------------
 
-***Andrew write your stuff here***
-
 Persistent classes which the user defines are declared and
-instrumented by using the persistent-metaclass.
+instrumented by using the persistent-metaclass.  Ideally
+creating persistent versions of class, slot-defintion, et al
+would be enough, but in reality various implementations do
+things in different ways.
+
+CMUCL / SBCL: their's a bit of work to make class slot
+allocation and reader / writer / slot-boundp work right.
+
+Allegro: is using slot-boundp instead of
+slot-boundp-using-class inside of shared-initialize, which
+necessitates some work.
+
+Andrew will add some notes here in the future.
