|Right, but that's the part I don't get :-)

That's not what I meant.  I meant that I don't see any problem of
multi-method in overloading method.  That's all.

I've preferred the idea of overloading method since before I designed
Ruby.  But Ruby still doesn't have one.  That indicates something.

Guy, who did implement it in his "modified Ruby", might want to tell
you how he felt.
