      • addMetaMethod

        public void addMetaMethod​(MetaMethod method)
        adds a MetaMethod to this class. WARNING: this method will not do the neccessary steps for multimethod logic and using this method doesn't mean, that a method added here is replacing another method from a parent class completely. These steps are usually done by initialize, which means if you need these steps, you have to add the method before running initialize the first time.

        addMetaMethod in interface MutableMetaClass
        Parameters:
        method - the MetaMethod
