python typing: @overload (intermediate) anthony explains

[@marco_gorelli]

really clear, thanks!

[@TheWytzepakito]

Would you ever use the third-party multimethod library to get Java-like method overloading?

[@anthonywritescode]

probably not, no -- it would be very slow and there's `functools.singledispatch` for 1-ary overloading

@@anthonywritescode Thanks for the advice!

[@kazmkazm9676]

[@jeffz7310]

thank you Athony

[@paulg687]

Excellent.
