I'll change your "probably be" to "": it WOULD be preferable to call
the most specific version of an overloaded function. ChucK's class
system has single, straight-line inheritance, so the "most specific"
is always well defined. The current scheme -- using the (lexically)
first function definition -- seems fraught with astonishment.
Thanks for digging into this.
