I've played around a bit, and the *only* way I've made this happen is
to not use method overloading, but change them all into a single
method like this:
public void Method(string S, [Optional]string T)
Is this really the only way to do it? It means I have to collapse all
public overloaded methods into single methods using the
OptionalAttribute on every parameter.
