I was under the impression that only freshly-created method
objects could be added to generic functions, and that in order to
move an existing method from one generic function to another
required a step of MAKE-INSTANCE using the method function. If
that's not true, then we ought to leave add-method in chapter 2.
There are several other simple documented ways to make methods,
and I thought of them all. It happens that all of them except
MAKE-INSTANCE install the method objects in generic functions.

Methods removed from generic-functions are as naked as the day they were born.
