polymorphic
    The ability to leave parts of a type in a
   typed language unspecified.  The term has three distinct uses:
   * Parametric polymorphism refers to the use of type variables in
   a strongly typed language.
   * Overloading, sometimes called ad-hoc polymorphism, means
   using the same syntax for different types.
   * object-oriented polymorphism allows a variable to refer
   to objects whose class is not known at compile time.
