;;; 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 add methods
;; to cl-generic-combine-methods with a specializer that says it applies only
;; when some particular qualifier is used).
;;; Code:
;; The autoloads.el mechanism which adds package--builtin-versions
;; maintenance to loaddefs.el doesn't work for preloaded packages (such
;; as this one), so we have to do it by hand!
(push (purecopy '(cl-generic 1 0)) package--builtin-versions)
;; 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.

I.e. it defines the implementation of NAME to use for invocations where the

The dispatch arguments have to be among the mandatory arguments, and
all methods of NAME have to use the same set of arguments for dispatch.
Each dispatch argument and TYPE are specified in ARGS where the corresponding
formal argument appears as (VAR TYPE) rather than just VAR.
The optional second argument QUALIFIER is a specifier that
modifies how the method is combined with other methods, including:
:before - Method will be called before the primary
:after - Method will be called after the primary
:around - Method will be called around everything else
The absence of QUALIFIER means this is a \"primary\" method.
The set of acceptable qualifiers and their meaning is defined

ARGS can also include so-called context specializers, introduced by
`&context' (which should appear right after the mandatory arguments,

"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).")
