The CLOS spec allows any non-list value and cl-generic.el implements the same rule. Whether some code somewhere will ever make use of that extra flexibility, I don't know. I can imagine numbers and non-keyword symbols being used, and since cons cells aren't allowed, I could also imagine vectors being handy for complex cases. I'm hard pressed to imagine use of anything beyond that, OTOH. Stefan
