Two minor stylistic points:

 . It is many times better to use the argument name as an integral
   part of the sentence, instead of separating it.  For example:

    This macro retrieves the value stored in @var{obj} in the named
    @var{slot}.

 . It is better to avoid starting a sentence with @var{something},
   because in the printed version of the manual @var{..} doesn't
   capitalize its argument, so you get a sentence that starts with a
   lower-case letter, which is not valid English.  (Yes, we have a lot
   of examples of this sub-optimal usage our manuals.)  In this case,
   I would rephrase:

    Slots names are determined by @dfn{defclass} which creates the
    slot.

Btw, why is "defclass" in @dfn here?

Thanks.
