As it happens, I've just been working (with Valterri Vuorikovski) on
fixing some of SBCL's compliance issues with this... in particular, a
long-standing bug in SBCL is its treatment of colliding accessor names
in the presence of inherited structure (see the :CONC-NAME
description).  There are probably plenty of entertaining corner cases
you can test for there (some of which will shortly be entering SBCL's
regression test suite -- let me know if you want a copy).

Cheers,

Christophe
