+;;;; FINDING SLOT DEFINITIONS
+;;;
+;;; Historical PCL found slot definitions by iterating over
+;;; CLASS-SLOTS, which is O(N) for number of slots, and moreover
+;;; requires a GF call (for SLOT-DEFINITION-NAME) for each slot in
+;;; list up to the desired one.
+;;;
+;;; As of 1.0.7.26 SBCL hashes the effective slot definitions into a
+;;; simple-vector, with bucket chains made out of plists keyed by the
+;;; slot names. This fixes gives O(1) performance, and avoid the GF
+;;; calls.
+;;;
+;;; MAKE-SLOT-VECTOR constructs the hashed vector out of a list of
+;;; effective slot definitions, and FIND-SLOT-DEFINITION knows how to
+;;; look up slots in that vector.
+;;;
+;;; The only bit of cleverness in the implementation is to make the
+;;; vectors fairly tight, but always longer then 0 elements:
+;;;
+;;; -- We don't want to waste huge amounts of space no these vectors,
+;;; which are mostly required by things like SLOT-VALUE with a
+;;; variable slot name, so a constant extension over the minimum
+;;; size seems like a good choise.
+;;;
+;;; -- As long as the vector always has a length > 0
+;;; FIND-SLOT-DEFINITION doesn't need to handle the rare case of an
+;;; empty vector separately: it just returns a NIL.
