You have a point.

In any event, I've just checked in some changes that arrange things
correctly:

    CL-USER(1): (mop:class-precedence-list (find-class 'hash-table))
    (#<BUILT-IN-CLASS HASH-TABLE> #<BUILT-IN-CLASS T>)
    CL-USER(2): (type-of #'mop:class-precedence-list)
    STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION

Thanks again for reminding me about this issue!
