It most certainly is not. Unlike cond clauses, methods might be scattered in different parts of a large code base; and the order in which the files in that code base are compiled might end up making a difference here. That really is ugly. The priority based version has the nice property that its behavior is determined purely by the contents of the defmethods; not their locations and, potentially, the order in which files are compiled. And of course my code added a couple of other nice features as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
