That is why binding membership and polymorphism together is a
historical wrong turn. CLOS had it right but the world followed
the Simula/Smalltalk path because of a nice metaphor (objects
sending messages to each other).
My openmethods library allows you to add methods "from outside"
and also supports dynamic loading: you can add new methods to
existing classes and new classes to hierarchies that have
methods. See the blog post that just came up.
