I believe you are correct.  Polymorphism should refer to types, what I was talking about is really "overloading."

Hey guys,

Reading through the OSL manual, on page 20 there's this paragraph:

"""Functions may be polymorphic.  That is, multiple functions may be
defined to have the same name, as long as they have differently-typed
parameters, so that when the function is called the list of arguments
can disambiguate which version of the function is desired."""

In C++ terminology, do you mean overloaded?  Polymorphic to me means
that the function takes a type parameter, or is a templated function.
