Runtime method overloading behavior for Ruby from [this blog post](https://lucaguidi.com/2020/07/22/ruby-method-overloading/) by [@jodosha](https://www.github.com/jodosha). Incorporates changes from [ptolemybarnes/overlord](https://github.com/ptolemybarnes/overlord), performance improvements from [baweaver@](https://gist.github.com/jodosha/e3097ed693e9b7c255b658ac39c2e403#gistcomment-3388594), and other ideas from [this tweet](https://twitter.com/jodosha/status/1285850349845254144).

## Disclaimer

The original author of this idea, Luca Guidi, [does not recommend](https://twitter.com/jodosha/status/1285941282381139969) using this in production, but YOLO.

## Usage

```ruby
require 'ruby-overload'

class Foo
  include Ruby::Overload

  def call
    puts "foo"
  end

  def call(arg)
    puts "foo #{arg}"
  end
end

foo = Foo.new
foo.call # => "foo"
foo.call(23) # => "foo 23"
```
