[Automatically-defined accessors for classes lose badly if you define
auxiliary methods for them.]

Answering my own question: the system knows what methods are
automatically defined, and does magic inside the body of methods to
arrange for these things to compile into slot accesses prety much
directly, after doing some fast runtime check that there are no `user'
methods.  If you define an auxiliary method it punts to a more general
case, and this is much slower than function call (and it conses).

Declaring the accessor NOTINLINE prevents the optimisation, and the
bad case with aux. methods.

It's nice having most of the the source code to browse....
