Multimethod

Multimethods brings multiple dispatch functions to Lua (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_dispatch).

Multimethods give you late-binding runtime polymorphism... in other words, you can implement multiple versions of the same function for different combinations of arguments.

Inspired by Clojure's approach (http://clojure.org/multimethods), a multimethod is a combination of a dispatching function, and one or more methods. The dispatching function gets to choose who gets called and in what circumstance. This is extremely flexible: you can dispatch on any feature or combination of features that you can derive from the arguments.
