| From my reading of the HyperSpec it seems that you cannot specialize a
| method based on keyword arguments. Can someone confirm that this is,
| indeed, a correct reading of the `defmethod' entry?

  This is explained in clause 7.6 Generic Functions and Methods in the
  standard, specifically in 7.6.4 Congruent Lambda-lists for all Methods of
  a Generic Function.
