It does, but it takes me time to parse it.  If possible I prefer a
format of giving short examples inline with a mail message, saying what
you expect should happen, then saying what actually happens.  Just
saying :)

That is not how things have worked in the past.  The algorithm goes,
"for each slot definition, initialize it."  It doesn't go, "for each
keyword-argument pair, see what slot corresponds to it, and error
otherwise".

I think we would need some deeper CLOS / GOOPS insight here to change
this.
