Suppose I

  1. Define a class with a slot A, :acessor GET-A.
  2. Redefine the class w/o the alot A.

What happens to the access method on the generic function GET-A?

In PCL the method goes away.  But is this behavior guaranteed?
What if the method was redefined to no longer be a slot access
between (1) and (2)?
