    You don’t have to worry about the class precedence list for methods and slots inherited from only one superclass or another.
    The advantage of using auxiliary methods is that it
    makes it quite clear which methods are primarily responsible for implementing
    the generic function and which ones are only contributing additional bits of functionality.

    Of course, if you’re going to rely on a coding convention–that every
    method calls CALL-NEXT-METHOD–to ensure all the applicable methods run at some point, you should think about
    using auxiliary methods instead. Thus, if you want to be able to reuse the
    code that prints the savings-account part of the statement, you’ll need to break that code into a separate function, which you
    can then call directly from both the money-market-account and savings-account print-statement methods.
    The more proxy components are located between client and server, the more
    is the latency’s part in the response time. So Common Lisp uses a second rule that sorts unrelated superclasses according to the order they’re listed in the DEFCLASS’s
    direct superclass list–classes earlier in the list are considered more specific than classes later
    in the list. The problem is that while you can use CALL-NEXT-METHOD to call “up”
    to the next most specific method, namely, the one specialized on checking-account,
    there’s no way to invoke a particular less-specific method,
    such as the one specialized on savings-account.
