Manual errors in (eieio) regarding single inheritance/dispatch?

[hokomo]

Hello,

(eieio) Introduction says (emphasis mine):

"1. A structured framework for the creation of basic classes with
   attributes and methods using *singular inheritance* similar to 
   CLOS."

"Method dispatch
     *EIEO does not support method dispatch for built-in types 
     and
     multiple arguments types.  In other words, method dispatch 
     only
     looks at the first argument*, and this one must be an EIEIO 
     type."

(eieio) Generics also mentions (emphasis mine):

"In CLOS, a generic call also be used to provide an argument list 
and
dispatch precedence for all the arguments.  *In EIEIO, dispatching 
only
occurs for the first argument*, so the ARGLIST is not used."

But aren't these in contradiction with `defclass', which allows 
multiple superclasses, and `cl-defgeneric' and `cl-defmethod', 
which allow specializing/dispatching on multiple arguments?

I've noticed that `cl-defgeneric' and `cl-defmethod' are not the 
same as `defgeneric' and `defmethod', but both (eieio) Generics 
and (eieio) Methods use the former, not the latter. Perhaps the 
manual should be updated now that the former are the standard way 
of doing things?
