+;;; arguments, and the set of methods applicable to those arguments is
+;;; different from the set of methods applicable to the original
+;;; method arguments.  (According to Barry Margolin, this rule was
+;;; probably added to ensure that before and around methods are always
+;;; run before primary methods.)
+;;;
+;;; This could be optimized for the case that the generic function
+;;; doesn't have hairy methods, does have standard method combination,
+;;; is a standard generic function, there are no methods defined on it
+;;; for COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS and probably a lot more of such
+;;; preconditions.  That looks hairy and is probably not worth it,
