No, in C++ overloading rules are (quite) well-specified and everybody's used
to them. In python, overloading is absent. Now python bindings of C++
libraries are supposed to mimick C++'s overloading, and AFAICS Troy did great
work in order to let the BPL be better at this, i.e. more closely follow the
rules of C++ w.r.t. overload resolution. (Previously, BPL's first[/last]-
come-first-serve rule would not match people's expectations in many cases.)
