Can't overload a function in a plugin, but can in RB?

["Theodore H.Smith" <delete at elfdata dot com>]

I want to overload a function from my plugin. I want it to be able to 
take 3 possible types. This is a dictionary function. 
"ElfDataDictionary.Value(Key) as object"
Here are the types I want:

ElfData
Object
Integer

ElfData is just text data. Object will be treated as a key, just like 
RB's dictionary does. And Integer too will be treated as a key.
This works in RB, but if I try to call this from a plugin based code, 
then I get told that the code calling it, is ambiguous.
Is my comparison wrong? (Maybe I missed something).

Or is RB acting inconsistantly?


This code, added to the app class of a new project, seems to compile 
fine:
Private Function value(o as object) As object
   Break
End Function
Private Function value(a as app) As object
   Break
End Function
Private Function value(i as integer) As object
   Break
End Function

I can call this code fine, like this:

  me.value( window1 ) = me.value( window1 )
  me.value( 1 ) = me.value( me )


What's up?
