Slot: extra_slots
How a class instance handles extra data not specified in the class definition.
Note that this does not define the constraints that are placed on additional slots defined by inheriting classes.
__
Possible values:
- allowed: true - allow all additional data
- allowed: false (or allowed: or allowed: null while range_expression is null) -
_ forbid all additional data (default)_
- range_expression: ... - allow additional data if it matches the slot expression (see examples)

description: 'Allow additional data if they are integers.
`required` is meaningless in this context and ignored, since by definition all
"extra" slots are optional.

description: 'A semantically *invalid* use of `extra_slots`, as extra slots will
be forbidden and the
`anonymous_slot_expression` will be ignored.
