It's tough to mull through a list of commits, so let me just ask you
some questions about it (I know you posted this branch a while ago,
but I forgot the details).

- Does it handle nary operations or just binary?

- What about *args like Mul.flatten?

- If two types register dispatchers against one another, what are the
precedence rules?
