Selection among overloaded methods is static, i.e. the choice which overloading to invoke is made at compile time.

Avoid exporting two overloadings with the same number of parameters.

• e.g. writeInt(int) and writeDouble(double) better than write(int) and write(double)

Do not export two overloadings with parameters that are not "radically different", i.e. parameters that can be cast to each other, in the same position.

• e.g. the overloadings List.remove(Object) and List.remove(int) are problematic because for List<Integer> l and int i, l.remove(Integer.valueOf(i)) invokes the former whereas l.remove(i) invokes the latter.

Do not overload methods to take different functional interfaces in the same argument position.

• e.g. For ExecutorService exec, exec.submit(System.out::println) won't compile because there are two overloadings submit(Runnable) and submit(Callable), and System.out.println is also overloaded.
