And apologies for misspelling your name =)

Sorry for the confusion Arron, I meant that question to be more like
"how would you implement /actual/ method overloading" in CF itself. =)

I would implement it exactly the same way I did in the code I emailed
to the list 1-2 hours ago. With the function I defined, you can call
save() like so:
save(somestruct)
save(somestruct, arg1)
save(somestruct, arg1, arg2)
save(someobject)
save(someobject, arg1)
save(someobject, arg1, arg2)
If you want to make the arguments required, test for their existence
and generate an error.

If you can simulate it (as in the example I just showed), does it
really matter if it makes it into CF8?

I agree, it would so good if we could create methods with
different arguments. I have flagged this as a wish, so I doubt it
will make CF8... But who knows...
And how would you implement it? I see three choices:
1) require named arguments, and distinguish on the name
2) require typed arguments, and distinguish on the type
3) keep the option of naming/typing arguments, and only require it
if attempting to overload a method (throwing an error if, when using
the method, someone forgets to name arguments, if that is chosen.
Don't forget, we also have optional arguments, so you can use that
for "overloading" too...
