Yes, C++ overloading is great fun when you're learning the language,
but then you unlearn bad habits ;) So I'm with Michael on this one.
What he suggests is that DeviceTag could be an object that supports an
equals() method, so that DeviceTag:equals 'Blender' is possible. That
method could be 'overloaded' at run-time by looking at the type of the
second argument.
