More PCL smallification.
... the ACCESSOR-SLOT-VALUE optimization creates a generic
function (using load-time-value) when it sees
a form like (slot-value x 'constant). That's fine,
but...
... these generic functions are also created at class
initialization time, three per slot. This hurts
now that we're creating classes eagerly (so that the
mop functionality works) as even condition classes
and structure classes cause these gfs to come into
being.
... so, rearrange things so that only those generic functions
which are needed are created. Never create one with
a slot-missing method, as the automatically-generated
method will fall through to the full call and get there
eventually, anyway.
... this causes slot-missing from slot-value outside of methods
to be slower if (and only if) no slot of that name
exists in the image anywhere. We could potentially
improve fall-through-to-slot-missing performance.
