A short video about Clojure 1.2 Protocols, created to solve the expression
problem (that D doesn't solve well yet), they are like fake multimetods because

By the way, you can see an example of the expression problem here, this is D
code that solves one case of it:

This is the same in Python with the multimethod (module inlined at the top),
it's similar to CLisp CLOS solution:

Has anyone tried to solve the expression problem by using opDispatch?
