Yes, I can see what you mean. Should a float prefer a string or an int? I
don't know.
That would be a issue unless an additional method of prioritising were
involved. Perhaps if attributes get in there will be a solution:
<>
function foo(int $a) {}
<>
function foo(string $a) {}
Yet as complic

OK, so take away the dynamic case, and assume the caller is in weak
mode. Now you have a second case where you need priorities between
In your example, the output may be:

with $bar, being dynamic, at the bottom.
With regards to union types, it could work exactly like the latest
Multi-Catch feature.

This is probably the biggest hurdle, IMO - regardless of the internal
implementation, you've got to define exactly how the feature would work

Well I had given some thought to that :)
Instead of using mangled names and calculating the canonical name at
runtime, keep the name, but convert the function hashtable from a table of
op arrays into a table linked lists, of op arrays.
A non-overloaded function would be the only element in its li

Besides it impacting, readability, it will also create a large impact on
performance.
Right now, functions (and methods) are looked up
