+;;; What this does depends on which of the four possible values of
+;;; LAYOUT-INVALID the PCL wrapper has; the simplest case is when it
+;;; is (:FLUSH <wrapper>) or (:OBSOLETE <wrapper>), when there is
+;;; nothing to do, as the new wrapper has already been created. If
+;;; LAYOUT-INVALID returns NIL, then we invalidate it (setting it to
+;;; (:FLUSH <wrapper>); UPDATE-SLOTS later gets to choose whether or
+;;; not to "upgrade" this to (:OBSOLETE <wrapper>).
+;;;
+;;; This leaves the case where LAYOUT-INVALID returns T, which happens
+;;; when REGISTER-LAYOUT has invalidated a superclass of CLASS (which
+;;; invalidated all the subclasses in SB-KERNEL land). Again, here we
+;;; must flush the caches and allow UPDATE-SLOTS to decide whether to
+;;; obsolete the wrapper.
