in thread On the Improvement of Exegesis 12

I'm inclined to say that the caller isn't allowed to say how many of the args are invocants. It's either single dispatch or multiple dispatch (with the fuzzy area in the middle for argumentless calls).

    And am I correct in saying that dispatch will happen based on the argument types, regardless of bless'edness? Meaning, I could do something like foo($bar, 1, 2) and end up calling, essentially, $bar->foo(1, 2) under the covers?
