for those subtypes when dispatching to the methods defined in them.
I stand corrected. Lax usage of Any is fair. Defining subtypes

All this Haskell programming has opened my eyes to what our multimethod
dispatch could be. As we have seen with Csort, the dispatch system is
a pattern matcher. But it's a pretty terrible one.
