Thanks for your patch. However, I think we should deprecate no-method
rather than put it in the MOP. It doesn't seem particularly useful to
have a function which is called only if you try to invoke a generic
which totally lacks methods. I mean---it's such an exotic case.
It would be much more useful to have a function which is invoked
whenever there aren't any applicable methods for a generic. This is
also the choice made in CLOS.
