Is it possible to do something like this in Scala:
class MyTest {
def foo[A <: String _or_ A <: Int](p:List[A]) = {}
}
That is,
There is this hack:
implicit val x: Int = 0
def foo(a: List[Int])(implicit ignore: Int) { }
implicit val y = ""
def foo(a: List[String])(implicit ignore: String) { }
foo(1::2::Nil)
foo("a"::"b"::Nil)
