Are you sure you want to mess around with multimethod dispatch? I mean, it is a pretty complex thing. Just look at the sheer amount of definition in Apocalypse 12. It's implementation is by far non-trivial, so I am not really shocked that it does not work as expected...:-)

But if you do want multimethod dispatch, why immediately starting with a corner case? I am not sure that empty argument lists are supported (or even considered) in multi subs, as these are distinguished based on their signatures (long names). What is the signature of an empty argument list then?
