This conversation has been good. I agree with both Svante<br>

As is often the case with the spec, it is not quite unambiguous.</blockquote>
Oh, and I meant to say that I'm not sure the spec is 100%<br>
clear on which forms are evaluated v. not evaluated, and<br>
whether there are any guarantees on the order of<br>
evaluation.<br>
<br>
Also, Didier saw that slots were being initiatlized<br>
before the initialize-instance method is called,<br>
whereas the spec seems to be saying that<br>
the default initialize-instance method takes<br>
responsibility for doing that, in 7.1:<br>
<br>
<br>
"The slot-filling behavior described above is implemented by a
system-supplied primary <a rel="DEFINITION"

for <a rel="DEFINITION"
