A further possibility occurs to me - transforming the method
definition at define-method time something like this:

(define-macro (make-method gf specializers formals . body)
  `(letrec ((m (lambda ,formals
                 (define (next-method)
                   (call-next-method ,gf
                                     ,specializers
                                     m
                                     ,@formals))
                 ,@body)))
     m))

Given the gf and specializers, call-next-method works out a list of
applicable methods (probably cached) in the same way as for a normal
gf application, then it looks through this list for m and applies the
method after m to the supplied arguments (formals).

Would this kind of approach work?

        Neil
