I really wish I could do this in Ruby

wishful_thinking.rb

class X
  def connect(action, to, with_success_status_code)
    :result_a
  end

  def connect(different_thing_entirely)
    :result_b
  end
end

x = X.new

x.connect action: :create, to: CreateChangeRequest, with_success_status_code: 201
#=> :result_a

x.connect different_thing_entirely: foo
#=> :result_b

And yes, I realize I'm asking for Smalltalk.
