[julia-users] Non top-level functions shadow global methods?

[andrew cooke]

I have a bad feeling I have asked this before, but can't find the thread, 
sorry.  How do I make the following work as expected (ie print "integer") 
instead of giving an error?

julia> foo(i::Integer) = print("integer")
foo (generic function with 1 method)

julia> foo(42)
integer
julia> function bar(i)
         foo(i)
       end
bar (generic function with 1 method)

julia> bar(42)
integer
julia> function baz(i)
         foo(s::ASCIIString) = print("string")
         foo(i)
       end
baz (generic function with 1 method)

julia> baz(42)
ERROR: `foo` has no method matching foo(::Int64)
 in baz at none:3

Thanks,
Andrew
