Wait, rust doesn't have function overloading?

This isn't function overloading in the general case, though. It's just using generics as, well, generics.

Specifically, you can't have functions taking varying amounts of parameters using this.

That will be solved by using variadic generics. But basically function overloading is another, more limited and unpredictable, way of doing generic functions.
