Looks very nice now. Thank you.

The depth metaphor actually works pretty well.
The use case I had in mind was this: (1) Someone defines a :override
advice. (2) There already is an :override advice. (3) Neither advice
specifies depth, so it defaults to 0.

The result is that the advice SEEMS to work (the user put it in her
.emacs and presses C-x C-e), but on restarting emacs it depends on the
order advice defintions.

Of course, from a user's point of view, macros usually are already expanded.

How would a user go about advising, say, byte-compile-log in her .emacs?
