Oh dear, that's not so hot. I guess it's the first that gets tested, and
that this is undefined.

I used simple multi-methods (with a "class" based dispatch function).
But then, my tests suite moved from taking 30seconds to taking 5minutes,
when a downstream API introduced some new interfaces (with no other
functional changes AFAICT). I am still using multimethods but in a
way which subverts the (unreplaceable) isa? call, and my tests suite is
taking 15 seconds.

I was investigating protocols as an alternative.
