'''
Testing deserialization of overloaded class constructors.
Note that plum/dispatch is a third party library,
only imported here for testing. It's NOT part 
of the standard pyson library and you can theoretically
use other libraries for this.

Also note that MYPY type editor will not like these overloads.
