Hi David,

My understanding of this is far from profound, but I believe that doing
something like:

(defmethod make-load-form ((self abstract-container) &optional environment)
   (declare (ignore environment))
   (make-load-form-saving-slots self))

Is sufficient. You _can_ customize the procedure but I've never had to.

Good luck,
