Paul, is :allow-other-keys supposed to be allowable at all times even
when not in the class definition?  What then is the point of
&allow-other-keys in the defclass lambda list?


:allow-other-keys is always acceptable as a keyword argument
if the function takes keyword arguments (see 3.4.1.4.1).

The point of &allow-other-keys is to make any keyword
argument acceptable, even if it is not :allow-other-keys
and even if it does not occur in any of the methods of
the generic function.
