No polymorphism huh?
py> len([1, 2, 3]) # len works on lists
3
py> len((1, 2)) # and on tuples
2
py> len({}) # and on dicts
0
py> len('I pity the fool') # and on strings
15
py> len(b'\x23') # and on bytes
1
py> len(set(range(2))) # and on sets
2
py> len(frozenset(range(4))) # and on frozensets
4
py> len(range(1000)) # and on range objects
1000
Looks pretty polymorphic to me.
