Hello ruby-talk,
may be instead of dicussing adding overloading to ruby we must
dicuss adding facilities to make syntactic sugar? while semantic
flexibility of ruby is very strong, i personally can imagine more
control of syntax
this can be achieved by adding hooks to syntax parser (like current
append_features call), or by rewriting parser as OO ruby program
which can be extended in usual ruby way 
may be there is other
interesting methods
···
