Thank you for the very clear explanation. It is now obvious that the
original lazy init design relied on the "found/not found" semantics of a simple
name match: no ambiguity there. However, there is ambiguity with the overload
rules. Clearly, at planning stage, we need to check that our entire list of
candidate functions is consistent with ZK. Your design for that seems quite
good.
I wonder, at execution time, do we save a fully qualified function name so
we can go back to the "found/not found" trick? That is, do we save the function
as "foo( INT, VARCHAR )" or do we repeat the type inference at runtime?
I will do a detailed review of the code next.
