Calvin,

finding an applicable method in respect to the parameter list 
really is a *compile-time* issue. Don't confuse this with late 
binding of overridden methods. You can easily see this if you 
just comment-out the "a(Object o)" version - it won't compile.

While it would be entirely possible to do "late parameter 
runtime type binding" it would degrade performance considerably.
