And perhaps an even better solution is to not access the slot directly
-- which is to say, don't use `@` or `slot(...)` since it's considered
 "good form" to provide accessors to slots via methods rather than
having users directly manipulate the internals of your objects.

So, in this case, instead of `fit.stable at fit` or `slot(fit.stable,
'fit')` you'd have: `fit(stable.fit)`
