I think it would have to work like: if something is a TObject descendant
(meaning, any class) and both of those functions were actually in scope, it
would always pick the non-generic TObject one for them. Anything that could
not validly be cast to TObject would have the generic one picked for it.

I can't really think of a good reason that someone would have both versions
of the function side-by-side like that in reality, though.
