To my eye, it's also related to the discussion I was in recently
involving generic parameters, where the issue was hypothetical, but
also involved symbol mappings.  I've thought a lot about this thread,
and rather than start with a long discussion, I think a small riddle
is in order, one which seems to cut to the center of the problem.

Is it possible to get both dispatching and non-dispatching calls on a
single type (expressed as a single formal parameter) within a generic?
