There is a niceness about how the multimethods group everything in one

Yes, their declarativeness is nice. I don't think we should remove them, but
maybe we should move them away from run-time.
It would be possible to use the multimethod declarations only to generate
Python sources with the descriptors (i.e. the __add__&co methods). The type
switches would be generated too.
This is basically what Holger suggested for descroperation.py already. I
still think that it is overkill for descroperation.py, but for multimethods it
would be helpful as a check, or if you prefer reading the generated Python
source instead of the multimethod.py magic.
In a way, turning multi-methods into a meta-class like concept
that instantiates __add__ things on type creation time?
Sounds like a good compromize.
