Method Overload Support In Wiki Talk

Summary

I've inadvertently started a discussion about adding method overload support to WikiTalk. To get the most visibility for this topic and to get as much feedback from the community as possible I thought I'd transfer it from the FlexWikiMailingList to here.

Like you, the idea of having support in WikiTalk for overloaded methods is very appealing to me. From a cursory glance over the code it looks like something would need to be done to extend the key for the hashtable of available methods as this seems to be the main barrier to supporting overloads, but obviously we'd need to get David to comment on how easy it would be. Equally I think that the wiki syntax is already pretty complicated and adding method overloads isn't going to make it simpler.

If anyone else has any comments/thoughts/suggestions/etc please feel free to contribute to the discussion.

Actually, good news: WikiTalk includes support optional parameters already. This is mentioned a bit in WikiTalkMember, though perhaps not in much depth. I've added a few additional notes at OptionalWikiTalkParameters.
