Need the metaclass methods at compile time

:requiredp nil)

On LispWorks at least, compiling it using q;quickload errors when it tries to do the defclass api at compile-time. The error is :required is invalid keyword for make-instance of standard-direct-slot-definition. api has metclass api-call, which has methods like c2mop:direct-slot-definition-class that return a other slot class definition, but they are not defined yet, because methods are not defined at compiled time according to the standard (while classes are).

I can go around it by loading the lisp file and then compiling, but the right solution is to put the methods in a separate file that is loaded first. Normally they should be in th esame file where the clas is defined (which is why the standard specify that classes are defined at compile time). I think basically all the code above the defclass api in api-protocol.lisp should be in classes.lisp.

defclass
defmethod

I don't test from the sources, I test what we got from quicklisp. So once it gets into quicklisp we will get it and test again.

I did the change by hand in the our version of quicklisp and it then compile, so i should be ok.

You can clone to local-projects and that will override the quicklisp version.
