Okay, *there* you caught me.  I was grossly oversimplifying.

What I should have said was, Ruby isn't *statically* typed.  Which
means that it can't use a parameter signature to tell different method
definitions with the same name apart.  At least, so I understand is
the received wisdom -- I imagine only Matz could say for sure.
