You're going too fast here: I have no idea what slots there are currently
in the object, why they're there, what kind of slots the `slot-missing`
thingy would catch, what is the relation between the "real" slots and
the others, ...

In the current solution, when there is a name collision between a "real"
slot and a non-real one, how is it resolved?

What is this "direct way" you apparently currently use?

I haven't yet understood what this pattern is.
