This is probably heresy, but unless it's required by the standard or
drop-dead simple to allow, I'd be fine with *not* supporting
overloading of stored procedure names based on argument types at
all. I can see the need for to support it for functions; I can't
think where it would be all that useful for stored procedures. If
unique stored procedure names were required, it seems we might be
able to allow assignment casts on parameters, which might be more
useful.
I'm probably missing some good use case....
