That's true, but you can disambiguate it by casting your argument to
"Window". If the argument types match one method's parameters exactly, the
compiler selects that method whether there are other legal options or not.
(This is copied from the old compiler's behaviour.)

Oh, ouch. That's certainly a bug. I'm sure you will get either a crash or
some other nasty behaviour if you actually try to use that array of variants
inside Foo.
