Answer 1

I know I'm probably too late, but you should wrap around your classe declaration with a optimization for safety. For example:

(locally (declare (optimize safety))
    (defclass test-class ()
      ((some-slot :type real :initarg :some-slot :accessor :test-some-slot))))

Answer 2

You might consider defining an :after method on slot accessor/writer. Also, the ultimate degree of control can be exercised by defining your own metaclass and customization of slot-value-using-class
