;;; Code:
;; We provide a mechanism to define new specializers.
;; Related work can be found in:
;; - http://www.p-cos.net/documents/filtered-dispatch.pdf
;; - Generalizers: New metaobjects for generalized dispatch
;; http://research.gold.ac.uk/9924/1/els-specializers.pdf
;; This second one is closely related to what we do here (and that's
;; the name "generalizer" comes from).
;; The autoloads.el mechanism which adds package--builtin-versions
;; maintenance to loaddefs.el doesn't work for preloaded packages (such
;; as this one), so we have to do it by hand!
