Ada allows overloading on return type, but doesn't have type inference or 
implicit converters, which complicate things quite a bit. I get the impression 
that Araq is quite familiar with Ada, so I think the omission of this feature 
is a well considered decision, not an oversight on his part. I'm a fan of the 
feature in Ada, but I think the right decision was made for Nim.
