The Slot class implementation is fundamentally sound but the larger constructs surrounding Frames and Slots still requires extensive thought.

I suspect that you will find that many more changes will be discovered as work is done with it.

Slots provide the capacity to implement most of AOP concepts in a simple manner. It also results in a Frame model.

I also would suggest careful examination of when to use composition versus traits with slots.
