#1 and #2 are identical. Stevan and I have always viewed #1 as a special case of #2. If you want to choose a method to call, then create a method of your own and have it wrap the one you want to call. The benefit here is that you can do more than just pick a method. Let's say that you have a conflict and the correct behavior is to do them all, but in a certain way. Or, maybe the correct behavior is to provide a limited API over one version. Maybe, there'll be some sugar to allow #1 to be its own syntax, but it should be viewed as a #2. Rob
