Singular Manual: procs with different argument types

  | ### 4.17.3 procs with different argument types Syntax: `branchTo (` string_expression `,` ... proc_name `)` Purpose: branch to the given procedure if the argument types matches the types given as strings (which may be empty - matching the empty argument list). The main procedure (`p` in the example) must be defined without an argument list, and `branchTo` statement must be the first statement within the procedure body. Example:
        proc p1(int i) { "int:",i; }
        proc p21(string s) { "string:",s; }
        proc p22(string s1, string s2) { "two strings:",s1,s2; }
        proc p()
        { branchTo("int",p1);
          branchTo("string","string",p22);
          branchTo("string",p21);
          ERROR("not defined for these argument types");
        }
        p(1);
      ==> int: 1
        p("hu");
      ==> string: hu
        p("ha","ha");
      ==> two strings: ha ha
        p(1,"hu");
      ==>    ? not defined for these argument types
      ==>    ? leaving ::p (0)
