If you use overloading that way, you're an idiot or a coder trying to 
lock in a job for life...

To see overloading being used sensibly, look at the TreeMap constructors,
the String constructors or String.indexOf() methods in the Java Standard 
Edition API Specification
 
There are also some good examples of overloading in "A very Informal 
Introduction to Algol 68", which, by the way, is not only an excellent 
way to learn A68, but is the only serious programming language manual 
that has made me laugh out loud in places.
