Following Keene, I attempted to define a "describe" method for my class. I
see from the error that "describe" is not a generic function. Is there some
other method I override to achieve the same end:controlling the appearance
of raw object descriptions?
You should write a method on the "describe-object" generic function to get the
behavior you're after. (See CLtL2, p698).
