Except that it's a bad hook, really, because there's not much on
which you can "dispatch" nor can you satisfactorily use the result of
`cl-call-next-method`, so all you can do is override the default with
a fresh new implementation.

I think it's just barely sufficient so you can use a different method
combination for specific generic functions (i.e. we could implement
something like CLOS's support for specifying in `defgeneric`
a particular method combination to use for that generic function), but
it's not sufficient to be able to extend the set of qualifiers supported
"by default".
