8.11.7 Method Definition

define-method (syntax)

• add-method! target method (generic)

define-method invokes the add-method! generic function to handle adding the new method to a variety of possible targets. GOOPS includes methods to handle target as

• a generic function (the most common case)
• a procedure
• a primitive generic (see Extending Primitives)

By defining further methods for add-method!, you can theoretically handle adding methods to further types of target.
