I did that in my very first application with Elephant. It was a real
estate catalog. Several times, I had to add slots to the objects
describing the products.

All I had to do is redefine the class describing houses, for example, to
add a slot counting how much cars you could park in the garage. And
thanks to reflection in CLOS, in my case, all UI was automatically
adapted, because web forms were generated from class definitions...

Compare that to the typical way a web application is implemented, with
the data model set in stone and hard-wired in code.

Quickly,
Pierre
