James I felt that there was some doubt I wanted to clarify, but it was
difficult because I could not see the context of the posts.
Did I say something stupid?...

Ok I'll try to be clearer, an object can have only one method with the
same name, methods are stored with names and not with signature
information.
Overloading can be simulated of course, just wanted to talk about Core Ruby.
