(...as Bruno implies, setattr(), len() et al can be and should be viewed as generic functions.Just a question: "generic functions" are not meant in the sense of "generic functions" of CLOS, am I right?
it's meant in exactly that sense: len(L) means "of all len() implementations available to the runtime, execute the most specific code we have for the object L".
