Eh?  Not unless your using a better Objective-C compiler than I am!  I hope
you are -- then I can upgrade!  Overloading is not the same as overriding;
which is to say, the same method name in the same object with a different
parameter list is overloading.  Objective-C doesn't support that for methods,
functions or operators.  If I'm wrong, please let me know!
