No problems, it seems to be working in LispWorks.  I'm not sure that the
getter and setter functions should be returned though, because they are part
of the inspector, not part of the object.

BTW, is there an intentional change to the working practice for commit
messages in slime?  I see that you use the whole ChangeLog entry in every
file, rather than just the paragraph that describes the changes in that file
(without the prefix).
