Kent, thank you again.
This is quite instructive, including at the metalevel: showing how the language evolved and offering a (simple) mental exercise of translating those examples into CLOS.
I should study more the subject of declaring generic functions and methods inline.

@vnikolov@ieji.de @pascal_costanza@functional.cafe @screwlisp@gamerplus.org @ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org @SDF@mastodon.sdf.org There's some really useful conceptual detail, more than I quoted, if you pull up that pdf from the archives and see pages 621-624.

@vnikolov@ieji.de @kentpitman@climatejustice.social @screwlisp@gamerplus.org @ramin_hal9001@fe.disroot.org @SDF@mastodon.sdf.org Some time ago I investigated and then wrote down a history of advice (at least to the extent I was able to uncover it). You might find it interesting as well in this context. See https://p-cos.blogspot.com/2007/12/origin-of-advice.html
