That's interesting as my experience is the opposite: Most of the calls
between primitive methods in my code use redispatching.
My tagged types tend to have a hierarchy of primitive operations, for
example an Overall_Method that implements some functionality by a
sequence of calls to a Detail_Method. Some derived types override
Detail_Method, so the call from Overall_Method to Detail_Method must
redispatch. Some other (or the same) derived types override
Overall_Method, so it cannot be class-wide.
Perhaps the frequency of redispatching depends on the application
domain, or on personal programming style. The frequency of redispatching
might me an interesting OO "metric".
