Only for the first argument. "Note that the dispatch happens on the type of the first argument, create your function accordingly".

Making delegated kwargs transparent is 100% cool though and addresses a huge problem with delegated interfaces. I'd use that all the time.

I agree with you about the swiss army thing. I wish it weren't bundled with all this other stuff.

Multimethod library is mature, handles multiple dispatch, works with type annotations, and appears to have been stable and relatively complete more than a half decade before fastcore was released.
