Briefly scanning through the specification, this is not true of all
sorts of functions, Array.prototype.reduce/Right, the String, Number,
and Date constructors, every other Date method, and more. Now, that
is not "overload resolution" as ECMAScript does not support that, but
the notion above seems rather inconsistent with what you can expect
when using the language.
