     I made some changes to define-method-combination that Danny Bobrow and I
     discussed on the phone.  The generic-function is no longer in the lambda
     list, instead it's a wired-in variable name.  The lambda-list is still
     present for expansion, but is () in standard method combination.  The
     short form is described after the long form and the expansion into the
     long form is shown.  compute-effective-method takes 4 arguments.
     :operator :call-next-method replaces :around t in make-method-call.
     The short form takes the operator as a keyword argument instead of a
     positional argument.  I think we all agree on this compromise now.

It's OK with me. I am glad to see this issue resolved.
     
Patrick.
