API
define-generic
[syntax] (define-generic name)Define a new generic function named name.
define-method
[syntax] (define-method (name params ...) body ...)Each parameter in params should be either a single identifier or a list of the form (param type) where param is the parameter name and type is a predicate which returns true if it's argument is of the correct type. Parameters without a predicate will always match. If multiple methods satisfy the arguments, the most recent method will be used. The special form (call-next-method) can be invoked to call the next most recent method with the same arguments.
make-generic
[procedure] (make-generic name)Create a new first-class generic function named name.
generic-add!
[procedure] (generic-add! g preds f)Extend the generic g with a new method f that applies when all parameters match the given list of predicates preds.
