COOKIE-IN doesn't have the * suffix because it doesn't conflict with an accessor name.

I understand that too ;)

I don't get what you're aiming for, but surely REQUEST-URI* can never be a method for a generic function named REQUEST-URI (lest you apply some serious MOP hackery maybe).

I meant:

why not instead of REQUEST-URI*

use something like:

(defclass request () ((uri))) (defgeneric request-uri (&optional req)) (defmethod request-uri (&optional (req request)) (when (null req) ...

though maybe sacrificing backwards-compatibility is better than writing all that :)
