[IronPython] Method overload

Yes, it will work on .NET. IronPython will try to find the 'best fit' among the overloads based on types of arguments that you pass to the method call. There may be cases when IronPython may not choose the right method ... and we want to hear about those cases so we can fix them.

Subject: [IronPython] Method overload

I'm studing IronPython and I liked very much!

But I have one question.

In .Net Framework, several classes has method overload. In my study, Python does not support method overload, and when we define  methods with the same name, they are redefined then only the last is used.

How IronPython handle this? By example, the method "System.Console.Write()" has 18 overloads! This will work in .Net?
