I have a spot in Pheme where I'd like to use multi-dispatch on only the first

argument to a function.  The function itself is slurpy.  That is:

Completing your example:

.sub some_function :multi( Array )
    .param pmc args
    print "array\n"
.end

.sub some_function :multi( string )
    .param string first_arg
    .param pmc args :slurpy
    print "string\n"
.end
.sub main :main
    .local pmc a
    a = new .Array
    some_function(a)
    some_function("xx", a)
.end

$ ./parrot md.pir
array
string

... I don't see a problem.
