C++ doesn't support multiple dispatch; it supports function overloading,
which isn't the same thing.  Function overloading requires that all types of
all objects be known _precisely_ at compile time, so that the compiler can
find the correct (global) function to call.

Multiple dispatch takes all the types of the supplied arguments and, at _run
time_ decides which method to invoke.  The types of methods need not be
known precisely at compile time.
