This is, of course, doable, but I don't think this kind of "overloading" would be easily readable or understandable when learning ezgtk. I'm more in favor of shortcuts like:

button {
  label "foo"
  onclick {...}
}

button_onclick "foo" {
  ...
}

Maybe an easier name like:

ezbutton "foo" {
  ...
}

for most common action type things?
