The problems I had was that my slot-value-using-class methods (and
friends) didn't get invoked any more. This actually started to happen
in 0.9.14, but I didn't notice it at the time because these methods
were suddenly not needed any more (at least in most cases).

With 0.9.15 I had to use additional around methods (which I originally
created for the CLISP port) due to the change of when
finalize-inheritance were called. That was when I did noticed the
problem.

But before I could figure out the reasons for this, I realized that
these around methods were plain stupid and that I should specialize on
slot-unbound instead. So I solved the problem by rewriting the code.

No problems encountered with the latest clg code.
