I've been using precisely the pattern that Charlie lays out in some of

my intuition, which (I'm now realizing as I think about it) tries to
match arguments left to right, and only drops to varargs if it can't
find a match. That intuition is obviously wrong compared to the spec,
but does that mean we have a bug in the spec? What's the justification
for this behavior?
For the record, both Scala and Groovy resolve methods more in line
with intuition:

Yes, because either in Scala or in Groovy int is a subtype of Object.
There is no point to make a difference between int and Integer in a
dynamic language.
