I just saw that tread:

Seems to be started by Mr Libman. I have only skimmed it, but it seems to
contain some unjustified critics. Libman, I hope you will come back to the
thread and correct false critics? Dom already does it very well, but I guess he
has to do more important stuff.

Dom replied:
"You'll also get an error. What other alternative is there? Nim randomly
choosing the function for you? I'm guessing Python will give an error in this
case too, except it will be at runtime which is far worse.
Edit: I just tested this. It seems that Python doesn't even give an error for
this case, but just overwrites the definition (only tested in the REPL, maybe
the behaviour is different in a source file), but damn that seems pretty bad."
I had always the feeling that I CAN overwrite procs in my own code:
import unicode
import strutils
proc isUpper(c: char): bool =
echo "isUpper() called"
echo isUpper('A')
#echo isUpper("A")
$ ./qu
isUpper() called
false
Seems to work fine, and it is what I had expected.
