Thread-topic: Call confusion
If I have methods for:


    foo( x as Integer )
    foo( x as String )
    foo( x as Variant )

and I call foo( 23 )

Which version of foo is supposed to be called?


Also, if I have:

    bar( x as Integer )
    baz( x as Variant )

and  baz is a subclass of bar, then which method is supposed to be called
for:

    baz( 42 )

???

I'm looking for documented or known answers for what is supposed to be the
correct answer here, not guesses or opinions.
Of course I fully expect to get the guesses and opinions as well  :-)

Happy new year all!
