Greg> Would all the versions of f have to be written together like

I'm not sure.  In ML, they do, but in ML, the tests are on
values, not types (ML has neither inheritance nor overloading).
Obviously, it would be nice not to have to write the versions
of f together, but I haven't thought about how such a feature
would be defined or implemented.

Probably true.
