eieio: Writing Methods
6 Writing Methods
*****************
Writing a method in EIEIO is similar to writing a function. The
differences are that there are some extra options and there can be
multiple definitions under the same function symbol.
Where a method defines an implementation for a particular data type,
a “generic method” accepts any argument, but contains no code. It is
used to provide the dispatching to the defined methods. A generic
method has no body, and is merely a symbol upon which methods are
attached. It also provides the base documentation for what methods with
that name do.
