subject: Polymorphism ?

Hi Neil! :-)

 NH> Is operator overloading a form of polymorphism?
Yes.

 NH> Can the term "polymorphism" be applied equally (and 
 NH> correctly) to variables, operators and function names?
Yes, though operators and functions are not really different things, and
having a polymorphic variable is not possible in any programming language
that I know of. ;)

Ciao
