Rust does, as far as I know.

I don't think that the ambiguities are an insurmountable 
obstacle. It's probably sufficient to error out when a call is 
ambiguous in its context, as can already happen during 
overloading.

Also note that, as Ali pointed out, with multiple alias this we 
will be able to implement this indirectly. Which means that the 
compiler needs to deal with exactly the same ambiguities anyway. 
Might as well just take the return type into consideration 
directly.
