Well, not precisely. In C++, overloading means defining two different
things with the same exact name, in possibly different ways, and letting
the compiler decide which one to use, based upon the number and types of
the arguments. Given the different way that IDL handles data types, and
the different way it handles default arguments, it's neither feasible
nor necessary to use C++ type overloading in IDL.
