Sadly, our code is full of using the same member function names over and
over, with different semantics, using the number and types of parameters to
differentiate. Another example: OutputDevice::SetLineColor() and
OutputDevice::SetLineColor( const Color& rColor ) where the first case
actually means "set NO line color (transparent)". Obviously (sarcasm)
