Steele does this exceedingly well in CLTL, although I can understand how it can be off-putting to some; it adds bulk to an already formidable tome, and at times seems to clutter up what ought to be a cut-and-dried presentation of syntax and semantics.
However, unless you subscribe to the mystical view that Lisp was created by divine fiat (a theory that is gaining popularity), then you will inevitably have questions as to why things were done in one way and not another.
Steele obviously decided to have a little fun, which is understandable considering how dry such books tend to be.

(Opening remarks by Guy L. Steele Jr., November 6, 2002)
Here is some practical evidence: According to the most recent 2002 North American Developer Survey by Evans Data Corporation, over half the developers surveyed are using Java.
But now that Java has become mainstream, popularizing not only object-oriented programming but related technologies such as garbage collection and remote method invocation, and now that the utility of object-oriented programming has been seconded by the sincere flattery of C#, we may now confidently assert that objects most certainly have not failed.
