60;;; So, for the reader: there basic idea is that, given that the
61;;; semantics of `next-method' depend on the concrete types being
62;;; dispatched, why not compile a specific procedure to handle each type
47c8983f 63;;; combination that we see at runtime.

65;;; In theory we can do much better than a bytecode compilation, because
66;;; we know the *exact* types of the arguments. It's ideal for native
67;;; compilation. A task for the future.
68;;;
69;;; I think this whole generic application mess would benefit from a
70;;; strict MOP.
