-@item Method dispatch
-EIEO does not support method dispatch for built-in types and multiple
-arguments types. In other words, method dispatch only looks at the
-first argument, and this one must be an @eieio{} type.
-
@item Support for metaclasses
There is just one default metaclass, @code{eieio-default-superclass},
and you cannot define your own. The @code{:metaclass} tag in
(@pxref{Methods}). When a method is created and there is no generic
method in place with that name, then a new generic will be created,
and the new method will use it.
-
-In CLOS, a generic method can also be used to provide an argument list
-and dispatch precedence for all the arguments. In @eieio{},
-dispatching only occurs for the first argument, so the @var{arglist}
-is not used.
