composable specializer functions (if we want generic functions
which can have more than one extended specializer class, we need
to be sure that our generalizers won't stomp on each other).

interning generalizers, which is a bit lame, unless we ask the
extended specializer implementor to provide a subkey to be used
in the key to the emf cache.  This new protocol function is a hook
for exactly that purpose.

that it uses symbols as the generalizer for conses, but the protocol
in principle at least doesn't leak now.)
