If you can find a reference, please do... everyone I've talked to thinks D-Bus disallows method overloading, but has been unable to actually find a reference.

While it may not be forbidden, I definitely don't like the current approach. It makes methods completely inaccessible to languages that don't support overloading (Python, Perl, etc) and utilities that behave differently (qdbus). Interoperability on paper is worthless if you're not actually interoperable.

What's the best way to remedy this?
