The main improvement is that putting macros can be given commonLisp places and the getting macros return a commonLisp places (so they can be wrapped in CL:SETF, change, add...).
For example, to build a multidimensional histogram with indexing keys C1...Cn in a HIST field of a datatype bound to X, for each instance c1...cn do
(change (GETMULTI (fetch HIST of X) c1 ... cn) (ADD1 (OR DATUM 0))))
Also added a little bit more to the interface, cleaned up the implementation, and updated the documentation.
