Would it be possible to deserialize the objects without triggering all
this initialization? There's a semantic issue, here, because an image
using persistent objects should behave the same with or without being
shut down and restarted. This is precisely a goal of persistence, in the
way I understand it.

If initialization is triggered, you have a visible behaviour change when
the Lisp image is shut down and restarted.

Do you think it would be reasonable to get rid of that?

Curiously,
