procedure overloading

[seeker]

it would be nice to have procedure overloading. one wouldn't need to come up with stupid name for procedures that basically to do the same, but have a slightly different signature.


i am asking NOT for OOP here.

Until this is implemented, you may consider using PB's naming method.
I agree this naming method may not be a perfect solution, however, it provides consistency and also avoids complications that overloading present.
