            Bug ID: 25993
           Summary: Why do we disallow overloading across partial
                    interfaces?
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebIDL

http://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-overloading explicitly disallows (with an
example and everything) things like this:

  interface A {
    void f();
  };

  partial interface A {
    void f(float x);
  };

but I think we have specs doing this (e.g. shadow DOM) and this seems an OK
thing to me in general, as long as people are careful.
