I don't see much wrong with this; the intent is very clear. I think there's a general aversion to instanceof checks as somehow not "pure" structure, but sometimes anything cleverer would just be over-engineering. That's not to say that there are zero use cases for function overloading in a dynamic language, but I don't think there are that many. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
