_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.
