It would be good to be more specific about the example.
Consider class Foo {
public void Bar(int, object);
public void Bar(int, string);
}
If I call "Foo.new.Bar 1, nil", then this is an ambiguous call and you should
be forced to specify which overload you want.
In statically-typed languages, variables have types and the declared type of
the variable is used to select an overload at compile time. This obviously
doesn't work for a dynamically-typed language calling into a statically-typed
API, so we have to use the runtime types to select the overload. C# dynamic
calls face the same issue.

Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] something has changed
In C# you can pass null to a string parameter and it won't complain I expected
this to work from ironruby too because it did before. So I want to find out if
that is going to be a permanent change or if it is a bug :)
so i'm not talking about an empty instance of String being nil but it's about
interop with CLR stuff

Just curious, but why should nil count as a string object? In C Ruby, nil is an
object, and an empty string object is not nil:
irb(main):001:0> n = nil
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> s = String.new
=> ""
irb(main):003:0> n.nil?
=> true
irb(main):004:0> s.nil?
=> false
irb(main):005:0> s == n
=> false
irb(main):006:0> n.class
=> NilClass
irb(main):007:0> s.class
=> String
irb(main):008:0> s.eql? n
=> false

Hi
Since this weeks updates to ironruby ironrubymvc is completely broken.
The way overloads are selected now is different.
for example asp.net<http://asp.net> mvc has a bunch of methods defined on
Controller that are protected internal ie. protected internal void View(string,
string)
it also has an overload View(string, object)
Then it selects the one with object for example in some cases
also I used to be able to call that view method in a ruby subclass of
Controller with view nil, 'layout'
but now I have to call that with with view '','layout' for it to work for
example. It doesn't know that nil can also count as a string object.
There are a bunch of other things that are breaking for example it doesn't like
protected internals as much as it used to anymore either.
codeplex?
