+
+After some time thinking about and rewriting the library in a subtly
+different approaches, [`CL-MOCK`](https://github.com/Ferada/cl-mock) now
+looks good to me as a version one.
+
+I've removed all mentions of generic functions for now, as first of all
+I'm unsure if functionality to dynamically rebind methods is even
+necessary, and second, because doing that is complicated by the details
+of that protocol.  Which means that specifying which method to override
+is a bit hairy and I really want a good syntax before I let that stuff
+loose.  So it'll have to wait until I figure out a good way to do that.
+Since it should be easily added to the existing frontend, it will very
+probably be done with some overloading of existing functions / macros
+(e.g. with a `:method` specifier or so).
+
+I'm hoping to test all of this and possibly investigate the generic
+function issue on some other library.  At the moment my single more
+complex example is a replacement for the
+[`DRAKMA`](http://www.weitz.de/drakma/) `HTTP-REQUEST` call, which
+worked surprisingly well and might even make it into a new test suite.
+The benefit is obviously the improved reliability of not having to have
+a running network connection for testing libraries against a (HTTP)
+server.
