Re: slot-boundp on conditions

where does it say that?

    This option is processed after the new condition type has been
    defined, so use of the slot accessors within the :report function is
    permitted. If this option is not supplied, information about how to
    report this type of condition is inherited from the parent-type.

I think there is room for interpretation here.

CLOS is not required for conditions. But "accessors definitions" are.
So it is the use of SLOT-BOUNDP that is not necessarily correct.

Yes, (sorry, I should have put this in my previous message) it's in
the description of slot-boundp: "Note in particular that the behavior
for conditions and structures is not specified."
