multimethod
dispatches on all of the arguments to_simulate
, so what does this registration mean?There was a problem hiding this comment.

My understanding is that this registration means that we dispatch only on the first two arguments of
_simulate
, and not the remaining. This isn't documented inmultimethod
from what I could find, but when I remove the arguments I get the defaultNotImplementedError
for_simulate
or the other dispatches.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I don't know if that's precisely true (I would guess it implicitly provides a type for the remaining arguments, maybe
object
or whatever is in the signature?), but I don't think it's a good idea to rely on undocumented behavior in upstream dependencies since it can change without warning in ways that are difficult or impossible to work around.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Good point. I'll try and debug why the default dispatch on the full collection of arguments isn't working as expected.

@eb8680 , after a bit of digging around I've found two options that rely less on undocumented behavior and pass tests. I have not been able to get
multimethod
to work with parametric types fully specified.Option 1: Pass unparameterized types to the
*args
ofregister
and leave fully parametric types explicit in the function signature. E.g.Option 2: Remove type parameters from function signature and use default
register
without any*args
. E.g.Which of these two would you prefer? Alternatively, would you like something else?
Unrelated: I think there is some misuse of types a bit scattered throughout the module, so a separate type refactoring PR (ideally pair programmed) might be nice before merging into master.
