The default method combination is called the \emph{standard method
combination}; other method combinations are useful occasionally for special
effects. The standard method combination accepts four direct method roles,
-called @|primary| (the default), @|before|, @|after|, and @|around|.
+called `primary' (the default), @|before|, @|after|, and @|around|.
All direct methods subject to the standard method combination must have
argument lists which \emph{match} the message's argument list:
dynamic environment appropriately for the primary methods of its subclasses,
e.g., by claiming a lock, and restore it afterwards.
-The @|next_method| function provided to methods with the @|primary| and
+The @|next_method| function provided to methods with the primary and
@|around| roles accepts the same arguments, and returns the same type, as the
message, except that one or two additional arguments are inserted at the
front of the argument list. The first additional argument is always the
of the argument pointer (so the method body can process the variable argument
suffix itself, and still pass a fresh copy on to the next method).

+A method with the primary or @|around| role may use the convenience macro
@|CALL_NEXT_METHOD|, which takes no arguments itself, and simply calls
@|next_method| with appropriate arguments: the receiver @|me| pointer, the
argument pointer @|sod__master_ap| (if applicable), and the method's
