Well, hang on... that's one of the reasons I *didn't*
use generic functions.  Take a look at 'access-logger'
and 'message-logger' in the 'acceptor' class; this is
exactly the model I followed.  If I do the new feature
using generic functions, I will be doing exactly what
you are warning about: making the next guy wonder why
one part is one way and another part is another way.
