feat(overload): Use typescript-rtti to select implementations (#4)

Note that the changes to module resolution cause steps one and two no longer
  to run because node can't find the imports, although they still compile fine.

 1. Install over.ts and get an example of add with number and bigint implementations working with it. [DONE]
 2. Use the builder pattern to get add working with its implmentations defined incrementally before producing the final overload. [Didn't quite work the way we wnated, but maybe we can do an alternative later.]
 3. Make a version of over.ts, call it util/overload.ts, that takes an array of implementations without redundant type annotation. [DONE]
-4. Improve that version of overload with rtti to select the implementation without the implementations having to throw errors. [IN PROGRESS]
+4. Improve that version of overload with rtti to select the implementation without the implementations having to throw errors. [DONE]
 3. Use the builder pattern to get a single object with both an add and a negate method, with both defined incrementally, working.
 4. Incorporate a subtract method that works on numbers and bigint by separate definitions but with dependencies on add and negate.
 5. Incorporate a subtract method that works with one generic implementation that works for both number and bigint with dependencies on add and negate.
