-The optional second argument KEY is a specifier that

-   :before  - Method will be called before the :primary
-   :primary - The default if not specified
-   :after   - Method will be called after the :primary
-   :static  - First arg could be an object or class
-The next argument is the ARGLIST.  The ARGLIST specifies the arguments
-to the method as with `defun'.  The first argument can have a type
-specifier, such as:
-  ((VARNAME CLASS) ARG2 ...)
-where VARNAME is the name of the local variable for the method being
-created.  The CLASS is a class symbol for a class made with `defclass'.
-A DOCSTRING comes after the ARGLIST, and is optional.

-return the value of the last form in the BODY.
