Nice. This is a bit disappointing though: “Multiple dispatch is heavily used in S4; we don’t expect it to be heavily used in S7, but it is occasionally useful.”

- hadley 2y agoWhy is that disappointing?
- kgwgk 2y agoMaybe disappointing is not a good way to describe it but I couldn’t find a better word. I meant that it seems that multiple dispatch won’t be highlighted. I would have liked to see a better S4 - fixing some of its issues and adding things like before/after/around method - and I’m not sure this goes in that direction. It can still be an improvement in practice over the rarely-used S4 though.
