 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. [DONE]
-5. Use the builder pattern to get a single object with both an add and a negate method, with both defined incrementally, working. [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.
 5. Attempt to eliminate redundant specification of implementation signatures.
