   I have been doing some work which involves taking over the
   slot storage for metaclass instances.  The purpose in doing
   so is to experiment with a fully versioned environment, where
   the values of slots, as well as the slots hemselves are 
   versioned.  Behaviors get version too, for that matter.

I'd like to try and help, but I don't understand just what it is you are
trying to do.  For one thing, I can't understand what you mean by "slot
storage for metaclass instances."  If you can say some more about this
that would be good.  

One specific question is whether you are trying to change just the
base-level semantics, or do you want a "three-level tower," where the
base level isn't normal CLOS, and the first meta-level isn't normal
CLOS, but the second meta-level is.

Perhaps an example?
