It's not quite what you ask for, but Slime will display the initargs
if you type "(make-instance 'foo  " in the REPL (or in a Lisp buffer,
if slime-autodoc is on).

Then you get something like

(make-instance 'table &key no-show-all extension-events events style
receives-default has-default
 can-default is-focus has-focus can-focus app-paintable sensitive name
parent-window state colormap
 direction composite-name child-visible width-request height-request
resize-mode border-width focus-child
 focus-hadjustment focus-vadjustment reallocate-redraws homogeneous
n-columns n-rows column-spacing
 row-spacing signal child children child-args show-children parent
visible &allow-other-keys &rest
 initargs)

in the echo area (make sure that slime-autodoc-use-multiline-p is t).

As a clg (and gtk) newbie, I find this very helpful.
