The issue is not the degree of behavior difference, the issue is the degree
to which the language of the spec constrains an implementor.

Did Peter miss this, or am I missing something completely (I am just a
simple application programmer): "The slot default init forms are evaluated
in the lexical environment in which the defstruct form itself appears and
in the dynamic environment in which the call to the constructor function
appears.
