That's what araq meant with defeating Nim's type inference. In my case, I too don't like about return type overloading, when I look at function/procedure, the first thing I look is the return type. If it's overloaded with another type, it'll confuse me a lot. Also, type inference helpful when there's a case you don't have to import that specific type but still use that as argument for another functions. Furthermore, just make a `template` or `macro` to resolve it. Nim already flexible enough and with those, how far the flexibility is in your own.
