Well, it wasn't about actual overloading, but construction. Object (or structure) initialization in Rust seems very weak to me, for the reasons I enumerated in my original post. Obviously we can live without overloading in general. My own CML language doesn't support it in general. But it does support it for constructors, for the same obvious reason that we want a consistent, formalized means for controlled initialization of data structures with variable parameter sets, not a somewhat ad hoc set of mechanisms that are either convenient but unsafe or safe but inconvenient.
