I don't think C++ has a dynamic multiple dispatch mechanism. You can craft one with the visitor pattern or some precompiling or macro sheanigans. I'd love to hear about the best way of doing it.

No. Not dynamic. The best way is to use Common Lisp. I don't know if there's consensus for other, lesser solutions. Stroustrup seems to think C++ just isn't good enough[1], but good ol' function overloading is good enough for the cases we're discussing.
