+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This implements the most of CLOS's multiple-dispatch generic functions.
+;; To use it you need either (require 'cl-generic) or (require 'cl-lib).
+;; The main entry points are: `cl-defgeneric' and `cl-defmethod'.
+
+;; Missing elements:
+;; - We don't support next-method-p, make-method, call-method,
+;; define-method-combination.
+;; - Method and generic function objects: CLOS defines methods as objects
+;; (same for generic functions), whereas we don't offer such an abstraction.
+;; - `no-next-method' should receive the "calling method" object, but since we
+;; don't have such a thing, we pass nil instead.
+;; - In defgeneric we don't support the options:
+;; declare, :method-combination, :generic-function-class, :method-class,
+;; :method.
+;; Added elements:
+;; - We support aliases to generic functions.
+;; - The kind of thing on which to dispatch can be extended.
+;; There is support in this file for (eql <val>) dispatch as well as dispatch
+;; on the type of CL structs, and eieio-core.el adds support for EIEIO
+;; defclass objects.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+;; Note: For generic functions that dispatch on several arguments (i.e. those
+;; which use the multiple-dispatch feature), we always use the same "tagcodes"
+;; and the same set of arguments on which to dispatch. This works, but is
+;; often suboptimal since after one dispatch, the remaining dispatches can
+;; usually be simplified, or even completely skipped.
