Hi David,

Sorry for the long delay.  I think this is not a bug.  The reason is
that you defined !width as an #:accessor.  That means that each concrete
class which has a `width' slot will have its own accessor method
installed on it.  You overrode the method for <a> instances but not for
any other concrete class; e.g. <b> will have its own method.

If you want to run methods in the setter, you need to not define !width
as an accessor and instead rely on your define-method to create !width
as a normal generic.  I.e. remove #:accessor !width from (define-class
a).

Andy
