I'm genuinely interested (not being snarky, honest) - could you explain why you think that expression has anything to do with multimethods? Like I said previously, I'm new to Python and I'm curious what that expression actually means.

You can override the behavior of a function based on the types involved. For instance ``coerce(a, b)`` calls ``a.__coerce__(b)``. By overriding ``__coerce__`` for one type you can customize this.
It seems to me there is a big difference between having a language that is truly based on multimethods and one where it is possible to implement multimethods fairly easily - from what I can see Python looks more like the latter.
