You can set up automagic dispatch using ifunc or the rest of that (they do
in gcc), just a lot of that functionality isn't wired up.

At a function definition level it's exactly the same :)

At any rate, please do keep me on reviews for this. I don't believe the
mechanics in general should be any different.
