-The dispatch argument has to be one of the mandatory arguments, and

-The dispatch argument and TYPE are specified in ARGS where the corresponding
+values of the dispatch arguments match the specified TYPEs.
+The dispatch arguments have to be among the mandatory arguments, and
+all methods of NAME have to use the same set of arguments for dispatch.
+Each dispatch argument and TYPE are specified in ARGS where the corresponding
formal argument appears as (VAR TYPE) rather than just VAR.
The optional second argument QUALIFIER is a specifier that
:around - Method will be called around everything else
The absence of QUALIFIER means this is a \"primary\" method.
-Other than a type, TYPE can also be of the form `(eql VAL)' in
-which case this method will be invoked when the argument is `eql' to VAL.
+TYPE can be one of the basic types (see the full list and their
+hierarchy in `cl--generic-typeof-types'), CL struct type, or an
+EIEIO class.

+Other than that, TYPE can also be of the form `(eql VAL)' in
