You should be able to do it CLOS itself. I haven't worked with the
language in a couple of years, so I don't know the state of the
meta-object protocol, but the last I looked it was slouching towards
the Bethlehem of standardization. The point of a meta-object protocol
is exactly such things as creation of classes. "The Art of the Meta-
Object Protocol" is an excellent read on the subject.
