 Class Options
 -------------
 
  - class option: #:metaclass metaclass
      The `#:metaclass' class option specifies the metaclass of the class
      being defined.  METACLASS must be a class that inherits from
      `<class>'.  For an introduction to the use of metaclasses, see
       Metaobjects and the Metaobject Protocol and 
      Metaclass.
 
      If the `#:metaclass' option is absent, GOOPS reuses or constructs a
      metaclass for the new class by calling `ensure-metaclass' (
      ensure-metaclass Class Definition Internals.).
 
  - class option: #:name name
      The `#:name' class option specifies the new class's name.  This
      name is used to identify the class whenever related objects - the
      class itself, its instances and its subclasses - are printed.
 
      If the `#:name' option is absent, GOOPS uses the first argument to
      `define-class' as the class name.
 
  - class option: #:environment environment
      *fixme* Not sure about this one, but I think that the
      `#:environment' option specifies the environment in which the
      class's getters and setters are computed and evaluated.
 
      If the `#:environment' option is not specified, the class's
      environment defaults to the top-level environment in which the
      `define-class' form appears.
