[...] > (cl-defstruct wisi-parser [...] > (cl-defgeneric wisi-parse-kill ((parser wisi-parser)) That won't work: the GNU ELPA package only provides the common subset between the old EIEIO defmethod and the cl-generic cl-defmethod. More specifically, you can only dispatch on the first arg and only on EIEIO classes, not defstructs, nor built-in types. IOW, it only lets you use the cl-generic syntax instead of the old EIEIO syntax. Stefan
