Forget again to CC so I resend.

I could get rid of class-slot-initarg and now the bug is fixed in helm.
The problem is not solved though if some old external program use this.

There is also a problem now with compiled files, emacs-24.4 compiled
files are not compatibles with emacs-25 compiled files and vice-versa.
