with c++, method overloading meaning to define several methods with the same 
names but arguments are differents and interpreter choose the method to call 
from the type of arguments :

public sub mymethod(toto as string)
  print "length : " & str(len(toto))
end
sub mymethod(toto as integer)
  print "result : " & str(toto*2)
end

then if you call :
mymethod("test")
-> length : 4
mymethod(5)
-> result : 10

But i think Gambas doesn't support overloading actually :)
