...seems to work really, really well. Now you can even overload a

Good! I hope that stinking problem is fixed where you, well, let me
check... Rock on! It's fixed!
If you had two methods Foo(i as integer) and Foo(b as boolean), you
couldn't do: Foo true -- you absolutely *HAD* to put parenthesis
around the parameters even if foo didn't return a value. That annoyed
the snot out of me and confused me several times thinking that I
couldn't overload in certain cases.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spleet.
I have found a few glitches, though. You cannot do the following.
Sub Foo(v as Variant)
Sub Foo(obj as Object)
Now, you also cannot do the following.
Sub Foo( obj as Object)
Sub Foo(w as Window)
But this makes sense, because here the overloading is ambiguous. But a
Variant is not an Object, not is an Object a Variant, so it seems to be
that the first code snippet should compile.

Next, suppose you define Sub Foo(v() as Variant). Then the following
code compiles.
dim list(-1) as String
Test list
But the following code does not.
dim list(-1) as Object
Test list
