the issue arised only when i attempted to make the sbcl version of
get-slot-value use the type information, previously it was simply
ignored. so while i'm sure clsql works fine, i'm equally sure that it
either conses way more than it needs to or contains many more (the
(alien ...)) declarations than needed (not that i've actually checked
this or anything).
