[postmodern-devel] "defined more than once in table.lisp" warnings

Hm, I haven't tested on Lispworks in a long time. What I suspect is
happening is that it has a slightly dumb redefinition check -- what's
happening is that defmethod is being called from a function (for every
finalised dao class), with an (eql class) specialiser where class is a
lexically scoped variable. Most lisps seem to realise that class is
bound to something new every time the function is called, and don't
complain.

This should be harmless. If it is causing problems (warnings at
inappropriate times), could you find the Lispworks-specific
magic-wrapper that can disable these warnings (if there is such a
thing) and provide a patch where the relevant defmethod calls
(function build-dao-methods in postmodern/table.lisp) get
conditionally wrapped by such a thing on Lispworks?

Best,
Marijn
