If a piece of code is specialised for certain values of certain variables (usually function arguments), this is known as "{partial evaluation}". In a language with {overloading} (e.g. {Haskell}), an overloaded function might be specialised to a non-overloaded instance at compile-time if the types of its arguments are known
