For example, epydoc and pydoc contain functions that inspect the type of their arguments in order to decide what to with them. While it's arguable that in a GF world, the authors should have made those functions overloadable, it isn't reasonable to expect everyone to rewrite their code to make everything overloadable, nor to correctly anticipate every function for which extension might be needed.
That makes me wonder. Will it be possible to monkeypatch a function to make it overloadable? I don't know if people will really do that, but at least the irony would be worth it.
