 Reading 3.1 draft 4, sections 10 and 11, it is unclear whether the
method signature is used to differentiate method calls. For example:

 Assume PacketA and PacketB are subclasses of Packet

Could I write two versions of sendPacket? One for each type of packet I
want to send?

class MyBFM;
        function sendPacket(PacketTypeA p);
                /* do type A packet */
        endfunction

        function sendPacket(PacketTypeB p);
                /* do type B packet */
        endfunction
endclass

Or do I have to write a single version of sendPacket that figures out
what type of packet it is and calls another send routine?

class MyBFM;
        function sendPacket(Packet p);
                if (p.isTypeA()) sendPacketA(p);
                if (p.isTypeB()) sendPacketB(p);
        endfunction

endclass

 I get the impression (especially reading 10.4.3) that I would have to
do the second solution.
