Log Message:
Dispatcher and GenericFunction now use a 'combine()' method in place of a
'method_combiner' attribute.  The intent is to allow subclassing in place
of using generic method combiners, because in practice the needs of
generic functions and dispatchers are quite different.  So, apart from
the default strategy, there's no need to reuse combination strategies
across the two types.  'combiners.MapCombiner' is now
'combiners.MapDispatcher', a subclass of Dispatcher.  Instead of creating
a custom Dispatcher with a MapCombiner, you should now just instantiate
your custom MapDispatcher.  (This change will break some tests in PEAK,
but I will fix them soon after this checkin.)
