ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Sorry if this should be in the addon or dev forums.

I'm just curious what superloading is. I see the word in some forum posts, and have done some coding, so I'm familiar with overloading, etc, but I couldn't find a definition of what superloading is, or how it differs from overloading.

No real reason for asking, just curiosity

Thanks!

Superloading is kinda like you're adding to a function/bit of code and then calling the original function (or doing the latter first and then tacking on your added bit). Generally preferred to overloading as it causes less compatibility issues.

Also these kinds of questions would be better placed in the addons forum.
