Hi Ian,

Does anyone use the manual index interface (enable/disable class indexing, add-class-slot-index, etc) for anything other than derived indices?

I'm thinking of removing this interface and instead require a re- evaluation of the defclass form for any changes to indexing, etc. It dramatically cuts down on the API complexity and test cases I have to support and further, in the multi-store world, it's simpler to have the class definition be a golden reference. Especially since there is now a different slot definition metaclass for indexed slots.

Comments appreciated, or forever hold your peace.  :)

I agree with your rationale for remove; I'd say go ahead.
