The latest proposal on "PUT" is that it accepts any parameter, but
I think this (in some sense) implies that certain routines can be
overloaded. Why not extent this implicit overloading an make it
explicit and let user-defined overloading be allowed ? 
In my opinion the distinction between (some) predefined 'overloaded'
routines and user-defined routines is frustrating.
