Thirty years ago I designed a language that would allow that and have 
it do what you want.  It used what I called "name and expression 
factoring" to get alternative meanings and if only one was type 
consistent, it used that.

(The advocates for typing would be glad to hear that it needed some 
built-in types to do this.)
