It certainly would be possible to do more optimization: 1) Once we have seen a valid exact match, quickly disqualify any later candidates that are not. 2) Try to find that exact match faster with a hash or splay tree lookup. #2 would only be useful for large overload sets, but #1 could be a minor optimization for all code.
