I have seen Guido's "multimethods in 5 minutes" which is by-the-way more
a showcase for decorators than for multimethods.

For my immediate usage, they lack the decorator stuff (I don't know yet
how to do it).

For WP10 purposes ('aspects'), they lack around/before/after methods (I
can't see them in http://gnosis.cx/download/gnosis/magic/multimethods.py
anyway) ... but Adrien here told me that there is more in aspects than
this stuff.

Also having fast dispatch in PyPy could be nice (isn't PyPy a bit
concerned by performance ... ?).
