How is this different from functools.singledispatch?

[alexmojaki]

This seems very similar to https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.singledispatch

Am I missing something?

Indeed, this point has been brought up on Twitter and Reddit. The major differences are:

1. You can put the type parameter anywhere in the argument list, not just the first position.
2. You can define overloads for protocols (structural types) in addition to types.

I'll see about adding a Related Work section to the README.
