I once tried to make inline methods obsolete, back while rewriting ASDF for ASDF 3. I conceded defeat, and have even used inline methods myself since.

This comment in the source shall be removed.

in that case, is there a syntax for giving type dispatch to the arguments?

note: writing it up here is not much easier than adding an example to the doc, which is perfectly fine for me.

Well, you *always* dispatch the arguments on the specified OPERATION type and on (EQL ,this-component).
