It could be well that:

    let hello name = Printf.printf "Hello %s\n" name in
    let nooverride hello number = Printf.printf "You're only a number 
%d!!\n" number in
    hello "samsaga2";
    hello 666

And the output will be:

    Hello samsaga2
    You're only a number 666!!

nooverride label it's optional

Then functions as (+) and (+.) could be:

    let (+) number1 number2 = number1 + number2 in
    let nooverride (+) number1 number2 = number1 +. number2

even

    type vector3 = { x : float; y : float; z : float }
    let nooverride (+) v1 v2 = { x = v1.x + v2.x; y = v1.y + v2.y; z = 
v1.z + v2.z }

But... it's only a wish :-P
