I'll add my public +1 here, then.
OTOH, I do find the PEP to be too long and fairly hard to follow - as
an example, the bit in the PEP saying
"""
(to avoid copying the implementation):
from overloading import RuleSet
RuleSet(flatten).copy_rules((basestring,), (MyString,))
"""
adds nothing to the point, but adds complexity which I suspect will
simply put people off. OK, it's only 3 lines, but I believe that
removing them will substantially improve the impact of that section,
and lose nothing of importance. I'm sure there's more of the same, as
well.
As I say, though, I am in favour of the idea - don't mistake criticism
of the way it's presented as dislike of the concept!
Paul.
