I see. Calculating the minimal set of necessary method instances at compile 
time looks hard-to-impossible to me though, at least with multiple-dispatch 
methods.

AFAIK, araq favors making methods single-dispatch (only the first parameter 
determines the method instance called at runtime). Should make fixing this 
easier.
