I found [it] interesting since it says their approach should have wide applicability.
And very rightly so:
both
that you should find it interesting
and
that the approach should have wide applicability.
Just making my opinion explicit, not that present or absent company needs me to know that 🙂.

"Metaobject protocols: Why we want them and what else they can do"
Gregor Kiczales, J.Michael Ashley, Luis Rodriguez, Amin Vahdat, and Daniel G. Bobrow
... 1993
Excellent catch.

Today I simply share and solve (hopefully!) The Art of the Metaobject Protocol exercise 1.1
(the softball generic classes #memoization exercise from chapter 1)
I just added a lexical closure of hash tables.
@simoninireland wrote about the art of the metaobject protocol in his #lisp bibliography a year ago. https://simondobson.org/2024/07/23/the-art-of-the-metaobject-protocol/
> I shortened Jim des Rivieres to Rivieres. Is this correct, or am I meant to write des Rivieres?
I would keep "des" and more importantly I would check what the already established practice for citing this name is in the literature.
That would also include keeping the accent (des Rivières).
[Applying the Metaobject Protocol.]
Needless to say, if you not only read that book, but also put it to use, you will learn a lot and that is priceless.
What you describe seems like a suitable problem to apply the MOP to and to get a grasp of it.
Good hunting!
