Ok, two questions. No, maybe three:

1) Why? What benefit do I get from this that I don't have already?
2) How can I declare something twice as two different types?
3) Does this have anything to do with my problem? Because if you're solving
my problem I want to know how, and if you're just sidetracking on good
programming practices then my first question stands but I'll keep looking for
the solution to my problem.
