;;; 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 make-method, call-method, define-method-combination.
;; CLOS's define-method-combination is IMO overly complicated, and it suffers
;; from a significant problem: the method-combination code returns a sexp
;; that needs to be `eval'uated or compiled. IOW it requires run-time
;; code generation. Given how rarely method-combinations are used,
;; I just provided a cl-generic-combine-methods generic function, to which
;; people can add methods if they are really desperate for such functionality.
;; - In defgeneric we don't support the options:
;; declare, :method-combination, :generic-function-class, :method-class.
;; Added elements:
;; - We support aliases to generic functions.
;; - cl-generic-generalizers. This generic function lets you extend the kind
;; of thing on which to dispatch. There is support in this file for
;; dispatch on:
;; - (eql <val>)
;; - (head <val>) which checks that the arg is a cons with <val> as its head.
;; - plain old types
;; - type of CL structs
;; eieio-core adds dispatch on:
;; - class of eieio objects
;; - actual class argument, using the syntax (subclass <class>).
;; - cl-generic-combine-methods (i.s.o define-method-combination and
;; compute-effective-method).
;; - cl-generic-call-method (which replaces make-method and call-method).
;; - The standard method combination supports ":extra STRING" qualifiers
;; which simply allows adding more methods for the same
;; specializers&qualifiers.
;; - Methods can dispatch on the context. For that, a method needs to specify
;; context arguments, introduced by `&context' (which need to come right
;; after the mandatory arguments and before anything like
;; &optional/&rest/&key). Each context argument is given as (EXP SPECIALIZER)
;; which means that EXP is taken as an expression which computes some context
;; and this value is then used to dispatch.
;; E.g. (foo &context (major-mode (eql c-mode))) is an arglist specifying
;; that this method will only be applicable when `major-mode' has value
;; `c-mode'.
;; Efficiency considerations: overall, I've made an effort to make this fairly
;; efficient for the expected case (e.g. no constant redefinition of methods).
;; - Generic functions which do not dispatch on any argument are implemented
;; optimally (just as efficient as plain old functions).
;; - Generic functions which only dispatch on one argument are fairly efficient
;; (not a lot of room for improvement without changes to the byte-compiler,
;; I think).
;; - Multiple dispatch is implemented rather naively. There's an extra `apply'
;; function call for every dispatch; we don't optimize each dispatch
;; based on the set of candidate methods remaining; we don't optimize the
;; order in which we performs the dispatches either;
;; If/when this becomes a problem, we can try and optimize it.
;; - call-next-method could be made more efficient, but isn't too terrible.
;; TODO:
;;
;; - A generic "filter" generalizer (e.g. could be used to cleanly adds methods
;; to cl-generic-combine-methods with a specializer that says it applies only
;; when some particular qualifier is used).
;; - A way to dispatch on the context (e.g. the major-mode, some global
;; variable, you name it).
;;; 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.

"Return a list of generalizers for a given SPECIALIZER.
To each kind of `specializer', corresponds a `generalizer' which describes
how to extract a \"tag\" from an object which will then let us check if this
object matches the specializer. A typical example of a \"tag\" would be the
type of an object. It's called a `generalizer' because it
takes a specific object and returns a more general approximation,
denoting a set of objects to which it belongs.
A generalizer gives us the chunk of code which the
dispatch function needs to use to extract the \"tag\" of an object, as well
as a function which turns this tag into an ordered list of
`specializers' that this object matches.
The code which extracts the tag should be as fast as possible.
The tags should be chosen according to the following rules:
- The tags should not be too specific: similar objects which match the
same list of specializers should ideally use the same (`eql') tag.
This insures that the cached computation of the applicable
methods for one object can be reused for other objects.
- Corollary: objects which don't match any of the relevant specializers
should ideally all use the same tag (typically nil).
This insures that this cache does not grow unnecessarily large.
- Two different generalizers G1 and G2 should not use the same tag
unless they use it for the same set of objects. IOW, if G1.tag(X1) =
G2.tag(X2) then G1.tag(X1) = G2.tag(X1) = G1.tag(X2) = G2.tag(X2).
- If G1.priority > G2.priority and G1.tag(X1) = G1.tag(X2) and this tag is
non-nil, then you have to make sure that the G2.tag(X1) = G2.tag(X2).
This is because the method-cache is only indexed with the first non-nil
tag (by order of decreasing priority).")
