Jon, the overloading issues were left to beta 2, this was already agreed
upon. Its still a long way to a release (I'd guestimate 6-9 months).
The beta is not at this point solid from an API perspective. But since
you seem to think a lot needs fixing up - what would you like fixed up?
What's not working for you atm? Marcus is, btw, not proposing new
features, just completing the existing feature, integrated overloading.

There won't be truly drastic internals rewrites at this point, but we
are not 100% feature complete. Things like a modified API for
overloading, or clarifications in the type hint model are certainly
valid for consideration in the beta process. There will of course be
lots of bugfixing, but I don't think we should be overly strict at this
point.
