-193: "unhelpful CLOS error reporting when the primary method is missing"
-  In sbcl-0.7.7, when
-    (defmethod foo :before ((x t)) (print x))
-  is the only method defined on FOO, the error reporting when e.g.
-    (foo 12)
-  is relatively unhelpful:
-    There is no primary method for the generic function
-      #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION FOO (1)>.
-  with the offending argument nowhere visible in the backtrace. This 
-  continues even if there *are* primary methods, just not for the 
-  specified arg type, e.g. 
-    (defmethod foo ((x character)) (print x))
-    (defmethod foo ((x string)) (print x))
-    (defmethod foo ((x pathname)) ...)
-  In that case it could be very helpful to know what argument value is
-  falling through the cracks of the defined primary methods, but the
-  error message stays the same (even BACKTRACE doesn't tell you what the
-  bad argument value is).
