99% of the time nobody needs to worry about how exactly partial ordering 
works. 90% of the time* people don't need to worry about putting constraints 
in the if clause or in the argument list.

I'd much rather have more complexity on the thing I need 1% of the time than 
the thing I need 10%. And the the rules I proposed are arguably simpler than 
the partial ordering bit that it inherits wholesale from the current solution 
so it might not even be the hard part.

On top of that, they may also alow for fewer cases wher the partial ordering 
even comes into play.

*87.6% of statistics are made up on the spot.
