+ In <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>, the same function name can be used for
+ different function definitions as long as the number of arguments or their types
+ differ. Tcl, however, requires all procedure names to be distinct.
+ PL/Tcl deals with this by making the internal Tcl procedure names contain
+ the object
+ ID of the function from the system table <code class="structname">pg_proc</code> as part of their name. Thus,
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> functions with the same name
+ and different argument types will be different Tcl procedures, too. This
+ is not normally a concern for a PL/Tcl programmer, but it might be visible
+ when debugging.
