Why is there "header-name" missing in the return value, btw?  Sorry if
this is a dumb question, I don't know eieio much.

Let me add that it breaks this code in helm:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun helm--create-source (object)
  "[INTERNAL] Build a helm source from OBJECT.
Where OBJECT is an instance of an eieio class."
  (cl-loop for s in (object-slots object)
           for slot-val = (slot-value object s)
           when slot-val
           collect (cons s (unless (eq t slot-val) slot-val))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

`slot-value' barks that the second arg is not a symbol.
