Re: "Polymorphic" in OSL manual

RSL and OSL both are able to overload functions by return type.

So, do the terminology purists out there think that this makes it "polymorphic" or merely "overloaded"?

I think one of the reasons for this extensive explanation was meant to
make the point that functions cannot be overloaded only by return

of OSL, makes sense, I'd argue.

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