prefers(x,y) visits ancestors by calling parents.invoke() recursively.
This visits the parents in the global hierarchy, not the multimethod's 
hierarchy. 
Is this the intended behavior? Why would that be?

On the assumption that prefer-method should behave the same for a local vs 
the global-hierarchy, below are 2 unit tests. 
MultiFn-prefers-with-local-hierarchy fails with a "Multiple methods" 
IllegalArgumentException.
MultiFn-prefers-with-global-hierarchy succeeds.

(test/deftest MultiFn-prefers-with-local-hierarchy
  (def local-hierarchy 
    (let [h (make-hierarchy)
          h (derive h ::c0 ::b0)
          h (derive h ::d0 ::c0)
          h (derive h ::d0 ::a0)]
      h))
  (defmulti local identity :hierarchy #'local-hierarchy)
  (defmethod local ::a0 [x] [::a0 x]) 
  (defmethod local ::c0 [x] [::c0 x]) 
  (prefer-method local ::b0 ::a0)
  (test/is (= [::c0 ::d0] (local ::d0)))))

(test/deftest MultiFn-prefers-with-global-hierarchy
  (derive ::c1 ::b1)
  (derive ::d1 ::c1)
  (derive ::d1 ::a1)
  (defmulti global identity)
  (defmethod global ::a1 [x] [::a1 x]) 
  (defmethod global ::c1 [x] [::c1 x]) 
  (prefer-method global ::b1 ::a1)
  (test/is (= [::c1 ::d1] (global ::d1))))
