is a module that provides function and method dispatching
based on the types and number of runtime arguments.
When an overloaded function is invoked, the dispatcher compares the supplied arguments to available signatures and calls the implementation providing the most accurate match:
.. code:: python
@overload
def biggest(items: Iterable[int]):
return max(items)
@overload
def biggest(items: Iterable[str]):
return max(items, key=len)
.. code:: python
>>> biggest([2, 0, 15, 8, 7])
15
>>> biggest(['a', 'abc', 'bc'])
'abc'
