Overloads
Viper overloads are aggregated into a single documentation page.
Overloads:
- Must return the same type.
- Parameters with the same name must have the same inline documentation.
- Must use the same inline documentation for the return type.
Null values
A viper that receives null in one or more of its parameters is not invoked, but instead null is returned as its result.
A null return value triggers the default handling (set by the named parameter default).
