+  * the old distinction between CL:CLASS objects and SB-PCL:CLASS
+    objects has been removed.  The return value from CL:FIND-CLASS is
+    now a CLOS class, and likewise that of CL:CLASS-OF;
+    CL:BUILT-IN-CLASS, CL:STRUCTURE-CLASS and CL:STANDARD-CLASS name

+  * incompatible change: the SB-PCL package should now be considered a
