You can do some fun stuff ( and get in an almighty mess! ) with dynamic code - I would warn anyone who's starting out not to try tricks like that yet though! also that evaluating code at runtime is relatively expensive computationally; I'm not sure how much the latter matters to RW code yet.
Overloading functions is something you do every time you write your own Update() or OnControlValueChange() functions - you can quite handily do that with your own functions too, if you define them in a script and then load that script into another one. That way you can make say, one core engine script for an entire model and still customize each individual repaint's script.
