Really impossible to use return type overloading?

Question

I made a small DLL in MSIL with two methods:

float AddNumbers(int, int)
int AddNumbers(int, int)

As some of you might know, MSIL allows you

Answer 1

The problem is that there is an automatic conversion from int to float so it really doesn't know what you intended. Did you intend to call the method that takes two ints and returns an int, then convert it to float or did you intend to call the method that takes two ints and returns a float? Better to have a compiler error than to make the wrong choice and not let you know until your application breaks.
