What about Method Overloading?

The following code snippet should work in a true OOP programming environment:

Type Coords2D
	Field x, y
End Type

Type Dimensions2D
	Field w,h
End Type

Type Colour
	Field r,g,b
End Type

'Base abstract class for a basic gadget.
Type Gadget Abstract

	Field Name$

	'Position and size attributes.
	Field Position:Coords2D = new Coords2D
	Field Size:Dimensions2D = new Dimensions2D
	Field ZOrder
	
	'Behavior
	Field HasFocus
	Field TabOrder
	Field Visible
	Field Enabled
	
	Method Draw()	Abstract
	
End Type

'Simple Label Gadget
'------------------------------------------
Type Label Extends Gadget

	Field Text:String
	
        'First Static Create Method
	Function Create:Label(txt:String)
		Local lbl:Label = New Label
		lbl.Text = txt
		Return lbl
	End Function
	
        'Overloaded Static Create Method
	Function Create:Label(txt:String, x:Int, y:Int)
		Local lbl:Label = New Label
		lbl.Text = txt
		lbl.Position.x = x
		lbl.Position.y = y
		Return lbl
	End Function

        Method Draw()
           'Do something here
        End Method

End Type

Instead I get an error stating that the Create function is defined twice. I Do hope this is something that will be rectified in the future.
