I did eventually figure this out.

I need to make something that defines it's own Comparable, and I also
want a custom printer for it.  Once I figured out that the multimethod
dispatch in the printer uses type, and I can just use that on the
deftype name, it got much easier.

Hopefully there isn't too painful a transition period moving from
multimethods to protocols.

Thanks,
