Sigh...

Wrong again!

What I didn't realize was that every time you initialize a slot with
an object, you need #:init-form, since you need to call the
constructor at each instantiation of the parent object.

I'll re-introduce #:init-form.

BTW, what about renaming #:init-thunk to #:init-procedure and let it
take one argument: "this", i.e. the object itself?

When you have called `nect-method' in order to run the initializers
for the supers, this would allow you to refer to those initialized
slots of the supers when initializing additional slots.
