Well, if that's needed, I already have a full emulation of javac overload resolution algorithm, written in Java code within my MOP project, operating on java.lang.reflect.Method objects... As originally implemented though, it allows you to call methods passing name and concrete parameters, but doesn't allow you to retrieve the matching method itself -- that's easy to remedy though, and something I plan on changing soon. I want to spend some of my forthcoming evenings on furthering the state of the art so that I have some interesting things to talk about two weeks from now at the summit :-) (I'm currently wasting my evening on trying and failing to make bsd- port of OpenJDK build on my Mac, but if I didn't I'd be seeing if I can repurpose the MOP project to serve as a helper for invokedynamic implementors; allowing the cross-language interop by exposing services for language-independent MethodHandle resolution.)
