Right now I'm more concerned about a problem that's preventing the
ansi-tests from running at all, having to do with arguments to
defgeneric.  I tried modifying defgeneric to be closer to
how it works in CMUCL and SBCL, but I must be missing something
since it didn't compile properly.

BTW, I was using (eval-when (load eval compile) ...) in many places
in ansi-tests to get it to work with gcl.  If we get that working
(more or less) I can convert all those to non-deprecated forms.
