polymorphic (var to par) functions

[Samrat Kadge]

Given a function which takes var inputs, and returns a var output,
can I uses the same function with par inputs and return a par output?

I want to reuse, the function in multi-objective optimization,
to generate hints for variables in stage2, using outputs from stage1,

which have a functional dependence.

I have currently tried is_defined/defines_var, but the time to first solution

is too long.

As a hack, I try to introduce variables of stage2 in stage1. This seems to work

amazingly well. But I may not be aware of all subsequent stages.

Thanks

There's currently no way to define a function to work with both var and par arguments of a concrete type (such as int or an enumerated type). You will have to duplicate (i.e., overload) the function definition for par and var.
