I'm a bit confused myself. Either use methods and eq specializers or use
defun and make it part of the name (make point x y) vs
(make-point x y). You are not programming Java now!
And if you want a object oriented perspective why not use CLOS?
Paul Graham might not like CLOS but he is a minority among CL Lisp users.
How about reading another book (one I like) Practical Common Lisp
at www.gigamonkeys/book/ and reassess.
