I think I already sent these some days ago but they never got commited. So I revised them and resend them, in short it's (all concerning the inspector):

- when inspecting gf: - display short docs for gf methods (when available) - sort them by applicability (according to a #lisp suggestion some time ago), although this is still a little buggy but IMO still better than no ordering at all users can specify their own function if they don't like the default by setting `*gf-method-getter*' (feel free to rename this to sth. more sensible) - when inspecting class: - abbrev'd docs for methods specialising on the class - print them one per line - order them by name (not customizable)
