Yes, I've thought about just using structures.  But I
would rather have the advantages of CLOS, especially
multiple inheritance and metamorphism.

Suppose I wrote a foreign function to make a lot of
copies of a degenerate CLOS object.  Could I do it
significantly faster that way than using
make-instance?
