In some places that overloading is used, such as XHR, the IDL contains a single
version of the method that is annotated with [Custom] to indicate that a custom
JS implementation of the binding for that method will be provided.  That custom
implementation typically introspects the arguments that were provided and
dispatches to the appropriate method on the wrapped DOM object.

In most cases, functions that are #if'd in the IDLs to exclude them from
JavaScript are not done so for a reason related to overloading, so changing
them to be wrapped by a define related to overloading would not be appropriate.

In the case of initKeyboardEvent it's not clear why one variant is excluded
from JavaScript.  The variant without altGraph was added in
<http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/16277/trunk/WebCore/dom/KeyboardEvent.idl> by
Sam without much explanation.
