> as discussed on IRC making it an `AST_POLYMORPHIC_MATCHER_P` does not seem to work, as the polymorphism is only in the return type. We do need the `Node` itself to be polymorphic (same type as returntype). The only working version I got was using the overloads.
You can't use AST_POLYMORPHIC_MATCHER_P to overload on input types.
You could try using templates, but that will make registering the matcher harder.
Another one that does input+output polymorphism, `id`, is simply not supported dynamically.
