This would be tricky, functions have different representations depending
on their type, they would effectivly be different entities with the same
name which would cause a whole host of complications. (for instance does
Self.foo refer to the polymorphic or monomorphic version). I would think
that if multiple type signatures were allowed, they would need to be
identical. (modulo beta blah)
