Anyone ever though of this? If you think it''s a stupid idea, go ahead and tell me, cause my brain isn''t working completely right now.

Overloaded how? And to what end?
Traditional function (and operator) overloading allows us to perform similar operations on different data types, or modify how the operations are performed. To do the former we have templates, and for the latter we have inheritance and virtual members.
What did you have in mind? I''d like to hear what sparked this particular train of thought

How the idea came was kind of strange in itself. I was reading over my C++ books, and then came across the Overloaded Functions section. Somehow, I began to wonder why nobody made overloaded classes.

Like I said, I''m not sure if my brain is working completely. It was just a thought.

I suggest you get a beer and reread that book - overloaded classes what will they think up next - there are no such things

Heheh they actually already exist in a certain form, in the ANSI standard.
Look up templates/specialisation and partial specialisation... it does exactly what you want it to do, but not in Visual C++ ( bad ANSI implementation. )
Works perfectly in Borland.

If I had to guess it would be lots of the funny green leaf, teenagers these days...

No it was an overdose of Jars of Clay songs.
