Yes, we still need multiple dispatch, but it's a really hard problem, and no one has been working on it (I'm not even sure what the best solution is yet).
Anyway, I personally believe that if you want to refactor the core with this, that you should clean up the assumptions first, so my plan is to work on that first. But feel free to try out some ideas. It might be useful to try some things out in some of these submodules as a testing ground before integrating something into the core.
