Function overloading concern

I think that statement is a little extreme. Daveed is arguably just trying to
standardize and generalize the concept of precompiled headers, of which there's
quite a lot of implementation experience. (Most of it bad, from where I've been
standing.)

Modules are a very different beast, granted, but not an entirely new one.
