(1) It seems to me that, generally, in R it is not possible to overload

(2) Assuming that the above is true, or partially true, is there any
extra packages to handle overloading in R?
(3) Assuming (1) is TRUE and (2) is FALSE, can anyone provide some advice
on developing some function that understand what the arguments are and
then calls the right overloaded function?
It would be something like this:
overloadedFunction1 <- function(x) {};
overloadedFunction2 <- function(x, y) {};
theFunction <- function(...)
{
# How to identify ... and call the right overloaded function?
