84 ;;; dispatched, why not compile a specific procedure to handle each type
85 ;;; combination that we see at runtime. There are two compilation
86 ;;; strategies implemented: one for the memoizer, and one for the VM
87 ;;; compiler.
88 ;;;
89 ;;; In theory we can do much better than a bytecode compilation, because
90 ;;; we know the *exact* types of the arguments. It's ideal for native
91 ;;; compilation. A task for the future.
92 ;;;
93 ;;; I think this whole generic application mess would benefit from a
94 ;;; strict MOP.
