Nice doc, thanks. Quite interesting. One thing I asked myself reading the doc,
was the handling of const-ness in method signatures, whether it was supported
or not, and if it was, consequences on overloading.

Another question I had relates to Steven's Boost.TypeErasure,
and similarities / differences with your approach. Naively I'd think
there was some overlap, at least for single-dispatch, no?

Thanks, --DD
