@deffn {class option} #:metaclass metaclass
The @code{#:metaclass} class option specifies the metaclass of the class
being defined. @var{metaclass} must be a class that inherits from
@code{<class>}. For the use of metaclasses, see @ref{Metaobjects and
the Metaobject Protocol} and @ref{Metaclasses}.
If the @code{#:metaclass} option is absent, GOOPS reuses or constructs a
metaclass for the new class by calling @code{ensure-metaclass}
(@pxref{Class Definition Protocol,, ensure-metaclass}).
@end deffn
@deffn {class option} #:name name
The @code{#:name} class option specifies the new class's name. This
name is used to identify the class whenever related objects - the class
itself, its instances and its subclasses - are printed.
If the @code{#:name} option is absent, GOOPS uses the first argument to
@code{define-class} as the class name.
