Some small items on NO-APPLICALBLE-METHOD:
1. The example that cheeweei has trouble with works fine in my
system.
2. In Flavors it was easy for a class (flavor) to attach methods to
the equivalent of NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD. Unfortuantely, this seems to
be one thing that we lost with CLOS being more general. It would be
nice if somehow NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD could specialize more than its
first argument, but it can't.
3. If i'm forced by Gregor not to change STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION, i
must define my own and make every gf use it. This is a lot more work
than simply adding one new method around NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD.
