I like the idea of `overload` more than the `match` idea. `match` looks
like a function that does two things: constructs an overloaded function
object and applies it as a visitor. While the first thing could be widely
usable, the visitation part applies only to the variant. This makes the
`overload` method (that is not bound to variant) more usable than `match`.
