<h3><a name="Chicken_nn19"></a>18.7.1 TinyCLOS problems with Chicken version &lt;= 1.92</h3>
<p>In Chicken versions equal to or below 1.92, TinyCLOS has a limitation such that generic methods do not properly work on methods
with different number of specializers: TinyCLOS assumes that every method added to a generic function
will have the same number of specializers. SWIG generates functions with different lengths of specializers
when C/C++ functions are overloaded. For example, the code</p>

This requires chicken to be rebuilt and custom install of chicken. An alternative is the <tt>Lib/chicken/multi-generic.scm</tt>
file in the SWIG source. This file can be loaded after TinyCLOS is loaded, and it will override some functions
inside TinyCLOS to correctly support multi-argument generics. This solution will work on any install of chicken.
