This patch is fine with me - and applied - though I think there's a certain
amount of irony in doing anything whatsoever with CLOS while claiming to be
parsimonious with memory, or at least aware of how/when/why consing occurs.
Adding GFs at runtime is surely a bit much for me to stomach! More so, I'll
stand firmly on my stance that standard-object (including generic
functions) at least as currently implemented in SBCL don't belong in
production services due to how exploitable they are from a
cause-the-house-to-come-tumbling-down perspective
