Claim (false): Julia isn't multiple dispatch but overloading

@lungben

Here is a great illustration of an other aspect of multiple dispatch vs. function overloading (in addition to the good example of @Maurizio_Tomasi) .

Julia Basics: Multiple Dispatch

What I’m saying is that this is not multiple dispatch, it’s function overloading. All you are doing is limiting the types the function meet can call by forcing them to be in a specific type range. You can do that in C++ and D. The resolution itself occurs at compile time.
