And for fun, I have a nice generic overload resolution for builtin functions subsystem for a nice generic builtins subsystem. Kinda would like to donate it, as with it, builtins are quite a bit nicer to deal with. It is yet another solution to the problem. We have a 5k line python program that sings and dances and processes builtins and wires them into the compiler. Let me know if you want to invest some time, otherwise, we we’d see about contributing it at some point, maybe later this year.
