Simpler replicate:

julia> foo(::Type{Float64}, x::Float64) = 1
foo (generic function with 1 method)

julia> foo(::Type{Float64}, x) = 2
foo (generic function with 2 methods)

julia> foo(::Type{Float64}) = 3
foo (generic function with 3 methods)

julia> methods(foo)
# 3 methods for generic function "foo":
foo(::Type{Float64}, x::Float64) at none:1
foo(::Type{Float64}, x) at none:1
foo(::Type{Float64}) at none:1

very cool. also, this should resolve the last of the type sorter bugs that #8745 was stumbling over! thanks for doing that first big batch.
