How about when calling functions you can tell the compiler which one to use by calling it like this:

MyType.Create(12:Float, 0.12) 'first parameter is not a float so you can tell it to convert to a float, second is a float so the compiler should know already which one this refers to
MyType.Create(12:Int, 2.4:int) 'first parameter is an integer so the :int part is not required, second parameter gets rounded

EDIT: I just realized what I posted probably didn't make too much sense. Basically you can just tell the compiler which one to call by just putting :ObjectType (:String/:Int/:Float/:Object etc) after each variable.
