This is wrong. From DEFMETHOD in Hyperspec
"The specialized-lambda-list argument is like an ordinary lambda list
except that the names of required parameters can be replaced by
specialized parameters. A specialized parameter is a list of the form
(var parameter-specializer-name). Only required parameters can be
specialized. If parameter-specializer-name is a symbol it names a class;
if it is a list, it is of the form (eql eql-specializer-form)."
At some point I will implement a FIXNUM class, if only because people
typically write code for CMUCL and expect this class to be there, though
it does not belong to the standard.
