As a quick followup to this, here's a simple macro that folks can use
to apply this optimization with a minimum of fuss in a given context:
(defmacro with-fast-multimethods
[& body]
`(binding [clojure.core/supers (memoize clojure.core/supers)
clojure.core/bases (memoize clojure.core/bases)]
~...@body))
