Re: User-defined record types, v2

There are three remaining failures in the test suite.  I'm looking into
them.

One of them is quite puzzling to me, and may require some EIEIO
insights.  In a fresh Emacs instance, define a class with a class
allocation slot:

    (require 'eieio)
    (defclass foo ()
      ((x :initarg :emu
          :initform emu
          :allocation :class
          :accessor get-foo)))

Now, this will fail:

    (progn (get-foo (foo)) (get-foo 'foo))

However, if you restart Emacs and define the class again, this will
work:

    (progn (get-foo 'foo) (get-foo (foo)))

As far as I can see, in the failing case, (get-foo 'foo) will enter the
method with the foo specializer.  In the other case it correctly enters
the method with the (subclass foo) specializer.
