also, could be the same amount of parameters, but different types, eg passing a String, a Boolean, a Double value, etc. Have 3 functions that handle each type and do different things as fit.

Please respond to dev you've got two functions with the same name, but different amount of arguments. so if you call function(arg1), it'll do the function that accepts 1 argument. if you call function(arg1, arg2), it'll do the function that takes 2 arguments. very useful.

I've seen this mentioned many times, although not necessarily in CF circles. What *is* overloading a function? Tell me to RTFM if it's applicable, but a pointer to a decent M would help.
