In CLOS, users can modularly declare how to initialize their slots based on keywords that will be used by make-instance, initialize-instance, reinitialize-instance, shared-initialize, and more.

Duncan Mak expresses the desire to use such a feature to port DEUCE / DUIM from Dylan. That would be a good opportunity to add these features.
