Though I have issues with Jonathan's approach (I don't like classes silently
discarding role methods as this has caused us many bugs at the BBC), it's much
cleaner that what I see here. You see, with Jonathan's, you only have to
provide methods for what you're disambiguating, It seems like your code would
require that I specifically list every method which is handled, which would
clearly get unwieldy with large roles or many roles. Did I miss something?
