I have an question:

I have a common function that can act on any of a number of 
slots of a given class.  How can I define a function such that
I can pass it an accessor, the class instance, and the arguments
something like:


(defun do-proc (anAccessor aclass arg)
  (setf (anAccessor aclass) arg))
