Thanks for the pointer (I had to update my CMUCL manual to read it,
probably I should switch to a more recent CMUCL version).  I am not sure if
it helps me because of:

   "Please note that this form of inlining has no noticeable effect for
   effective methods that consist of a primary method only, which doesn't
   have keyword arguments. In such cases, PCL uses the primary method
   directly for the effective method."

Since I avoided method combination for BLAS routines anyhow, this might not
change much.  Anyway, I think I will be able to phrase my needs more
precisely when I have some working code.

Yours, Nicolas.
