"textContent": "Oh, I didn't mean to say \"I don't want Rust-to-Rust overloading\", just \"it's not a goal of mine to get that\".\n\nWhere I'm coming from is: \"tiny syntactic sugar gets us pretty nice FFI powers and also extends to named arguments which we wanted anyways\". I love it when we get a lot of benefit for not much design complexity, something about this \"fits well\" in the language to my taste.\n\nI don't mind that this gives a Rust-to-Rust overloading feature. I'm sure some ppl will find APIs where this is really beneficial to have and the rest won't bother with the weird trait dances required.",
