_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Objects from this class are generated and revised by the
     definition of methods for a generic function.

_S_l_o_t_s:


     `_a_r_g_u_m_e_n_t': Object of class `"name"'.  The name of the argument
          being used for dispatch at this level. 

     `_m_e_t_h_o_d_s': A named list of the methods (and method lists) defined
          explicitly for this argument, with the names being the
          classes for which the methods have been defined. 

     `_a_l_l_M_e_t_h_o_d_s': A named list, which may be empty if this object has
          not been used in dispatch yet.  Otherwise, it contains all
          the directly defined methods from the `methods' slot, plus
          any inherited methods. 

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class `"OptionalMethods"', directly.
