Hi,

I just came across a problem like this: Suppose I've got two related functions that do similar things, and I want to call them the same... Like in:

foobar :: String -> Int -> Int
foobar :: Int -> String -> Int

(Bad example, but I hope you got the point.)

Is this kind of overloading (instead of the polymorphism based overloading) possible in Haskell? Namely to have two functions with the same name but different signatures so they could be distinguished by a call's parameters? I fear not... So I guess I have to name the functions differently, right?

Thanks,
Daniel
