Great suggestion! I think this could work:

   string fight(virtual!Character, virtual!Creature, 
virtual!Device); // declares method

   // define implemention:
   string fight(Character t, Dragon d, Hands w);

   mixin ProcessMethods();

How do you find the current module inside ProcessMethods?

There's a problem with the catch-all method though:

   string fight(Character a, Creature b, Device c) { }

This won't work because string fight(Character a, Creature b, 
Device c) is the method itself - it's generated by the library. 
We'll have to come up with a special syntax for it.
