[1]> (defclass foo () ())
#<STANDARD-CLASS FOO>
[2]> (defmethod bar ((foo foo) x)
       (* x x))
#<STANDARD-METHOD (#<STANDARD-CLASS FOO> #<BUILT-IN-CLASS T>)>
[3]> (defparameter a (make-instance 'foo))
A
[4]> (bar a 3)
9
[5]> (defmethod bar ((self (eql a)) x)
       (* x x x))
#<STANDARD-METHOD ((EQL #<FOO #x203185F9>) #<BUILT-IN-CLASS T>)>
[6]> (bar a 3)
27
