overloading sources and functions

[ddavidebor]

can datasources and chainables (such as .divide()) be overloaded like in this silly example?

example:

The hypothetical chainable/datasource hybrid "addFromZero(x)" behave as follows:

• if datasource, return x
• if chainable, add x

.value(1).addFromZero(123) will add 123 to value, plotting 124
.addFromZero(123) will plot 123

can this be easily done or is it a mess?

Now apparently if a datasource and a chainable have the same term one will overwrite the other.

Regarding #174 we have created a datasource called .maths() and a chainable called math() but it's not the cleanest implementation.

No, you can not overload in this manner, and I'd prefer not, for simplicity's sake. You could always start a chain with .static(0)

Thy will be done
