  um, do I get this?  the approach would work, but would involve some code
  duplication, so you abandoned it for one that involves a lot less code
  that _doesn't_ work?

  code duplication is generally solved with macros.  in general, most of
  the CLOS magic is indeed macros and machinery that has been created for
  you, otherwise it would have caused a lot of difficult code duplication,
  so I don't see why "code duplication" doesn't _precisely_ mean that you
  automate the task of duplication yourself.
