Well... about that. It's actually easily doable with a bit of
trickery. We can either:

1) Mark the overload subs as special and change their calling conventions
2) Wrap the overload subs in some bytecode that Does The Right
Thing--takes a continuation, pushes the registers to the stack, then
calls the overload sub--when we add them to the MMD table.
