Due to the overall complexity of the resulting system, the simplicity of the pure system for overloading is lost.
Most languages support some kind of overloading of operators, also known as ad hoc polymorphism.
This overloading can lead to the introduction of errors through unintended overriding of formulas.
Languages without overloading or n-ary functions traditionally use list to collect optional and keyworded arguments.
Many functions are most naturally defined using simple pattern bindings; the user must be careful to affix these with type signatures to retain full overloading.
We use overloading environments in rules which deal with dictionary abstractions; the context abstracted over must be the right-hand sides of an overloading environment.
We will also use to make an overloading environment (section 2.7.4) : from the same ingredients.
