I understand the POV of both Evan and you here. However, I think that
there might be a good solution for this particular case - to allow
dropping functions by name only if it has the only signature, but if
there are 2 or more signatures then print an error specifying all the
forms of the function, eg.:

ERROR: Can not drop function 'foo' because it has more then one
signature: foo(integer), foo(text).

I am sure It would simplify life significantly.
