[julia-users] Re: how does method dispatch treat varargs functions?

[Steven G. Johnson]

On a separate note, I agree that this should be better documented. 
 Currently, the manual just says, "When a function is applied to a 
particular tuple of arguments, the most specific method applicable to those 
arguments is applied."   The precise partial order really needs to be 
defined somewhere (starting with Jeff's 
thesis: https://github.com/JeffBezanson/phdthesis/issues/2).
