The EIEIO manual states that it provides method functionality for Emacs
Lisp. The manual has whole sections devoted to both cl-defmethod and
cl-defgeneric and refers to them as part of its corpus. It has documentation for
both.

    (info "(eieio) Generics")
    (info "(eieio) Methods")

And as far as I can tell there is no eieio-specific defmethod or defgeneric
macros that aren't cl-defmethod and cl-defgeneric. So I really doubt that I'm in
error here.
