Thanks for the information! The existing syntax is OK by me, the only
bug was the lack of documentation, which is now fixed. I think
changing the syntax would break a lot of code and give people trouble
without good reason.

One nitpick: with READTABLE-CASE set to :UPCASE the example in the
manual should read '(new (-person age shoe-size))' - or am I missing
something else?

Thank you again,
