Re: no-next-method lexical function

    This seems like a special case of no-applicable-method which could be
    handled by providing another method on no-applicable-method which
    discriminated on a function object rather than generic function:

    If call-next-method failed to find a next method, the error message would
    print showing that the function called was call-next-method and the
    arguments. 

I don't believe this is appropriate, because call-next-method itself
isn't doing any method lookup.  Another way of saying this is that
call-next-method is not a generic-function that is failing to find an
applicable method.
