I've now changed it to:
In CLOS, a generic method can also be used to provide an argument list
and dispatch precedence for all the arguments. In @eieio{},
dispatching only occurs for the first argument, so the @var{arglist}
is not used.
in Emacs 29. But the documentation here talks about cl-defgeneric, so
it's extra confusing. (The `defgeneric' in eieio-compat.el does behave
like described, apparently, so it's not totally wrong... but... it
think perhaps the ieieo/cl method stuff needs some editing.)
