Log Message:
Improved support for slots and initialization of unchangeable features at
instance creation time.  This required revisions to the 'IBindingAPI'
interface and implementation to accept a 'useSlot' flag on many routines,
and the addition of new '_postGet()' and '_bindingChanging()' hook methods
in 'binding.Base'.  But now the persistence implementation is orthogonal
to how attributes are stored.  No tests for slot-based features yet, but
maybe that can happen soon.  In principle it should now also be possible
to create components that subclass 'Classifier' and thus share in many of
the benefits of 'peak.model', for solution-domain components.  For example,
such components could be loaded from a DM that reads a configuration file.
