<unlurking> But overloaded methods as they exist now have exactly the same expression as non-overloaded methods, all the machinery (mro walking etc.) being hidden from the programmer. On the contrary, this new "overloaded function" mechanism requires the explicit use of a special decorator to specify that the function can be overloaded, and another special decorator to specify that we are currently overloading a function. Thus you would be referring to two different programming schemes with the same word. It's confusing IMO. </unlurking> _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
