 Every function in Julia is a generic function. A generic function is conceptually a single function,
 but consists of many definitions, or methods. The methods of a generic function are stored in a
-method table. There is one global method table (type `MethodTable`) named `Core.GlobalMethods`. Any

 default operation on methods (such as calls) uses that table.
