Oh - nothing special. It just seems that whenever I try to make use of
generic functions the rules for writing specializers seems unnecessarily
restrictive.
The last time it was implementing that transformation function regexp ->
PEG, where the "head" could be one of two or three synonyms. There are
workarounds, as always, but too often I think "ok, so this again was not
such a good example for using a generic function...".
Michael.
