Explicit slot declaration

Explicit slot declaration is similar to validates_type_of + validates_presence_of, except default values are not accounted for.

Some shortcut commands could make it easier to assign defaults or limit access when needed.

Member = StrokeDB::Meta.new do 
   #allow only these slots
   #presumably existing slot types could still be used
   available_slots 'name', 'email', 'age'

   #assign default values if not defined
   #if no default value listed with key, nil is assumed
   #(so :age would be :age=>nil)
   default_slots :age, :status=>"newbie"
   
   #Allow no more slot types to be added (works well with above defaults setting nil first -- or could be based on all docs using the Meta).
   #My issues with this is it would make adding a new slot type (intentionally) more difficult (impossible?), whereas available_slots could be added to.
   freeze_slots
end
