Not pretty, as you said, but also not quite the same in behaviour as  
a single multimethod dispatching on both arguments. Multiple dispatch  
can be made symmetric in the arguments, whereas a chain of  
multimethods always implies a dispatch hierarchy. In your example,  
the type of the first argument always dominates.
