Casting based on type tags #30

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When an object is being passed to an overloaded Java method, it should be 
possible to take the type 
tags of the object into account to further distinguish between possible 
signatures. This way the 
method needs not to be casted provided that the object that is passed has the 
correct type tag.

This avoids for instance the following:

Overloaded Java constructor has 3 matches:
TreeSet.new(<obj:751090{compare}@[java.util.Comparator]>)
public java.util.TreeSet(java.util.Comparator)
public java.util.TreeSet(java.util.Collection)
public java.util.TreeSet(java.util.SortedSet)
