    Yes, but then what _are_ we going to do with it?  :-)

    Sounds then like it should be MAKE-METHOD-COMBINATION instead of
    FIND-METHOD-COMBINATION.

I think the idea was that since it doesn't necessarily cons a fresh object
every time you call it, it should be named like the other FIND- functions.
