So that's that then, which is fine. I still wish, though, that this 
didn't have to happen. :)

Still, I can't really see what will be gained by exporting the 
request(or reply) accessors. If you can explain what you have in mind 
when you say a clearer CLOS-based model, and how it will help, that will 
be great.
