To be finicky, I should have said, for the example call

   Something(A,...);

that if A has a static type, the correct Something is selected statically as
a part of normal overload resolution. It is only if A has a dynamic type
(i.e. it is an object of a class-wide type) that the dynamic selection of
Something occurs. It is only the dynamic selection which is called
'dispatching'.
