documentation for multipledispatch

This implementation of multiple dispatch is efficient, mostly complete, performs static analysis to avoid conflicts, and provides optional namespace support. It looks good too.

What this does:

 * Dispatches on all non-keyword arguments
 * Supports inheritance
 * Supports instance methods
 * Supports union types, e.g. (int, float)
 * Supports builtin abstract classes, e.g. Iterator, Number, ...
 * Caches for fast repeated lookup
 * Identifies possible ambiguities at function definition time
 * Provides hints to resolve ambiguities when they occur
 * Supports namespaces with optional keyword arguments
 * Supports variadic dispatch

What this doesn't do:

 * Diagonal dispatch
 * Efficient update: The addition of a new signature requires a full resolve
   of the whole function. This becomes troublesome after you get to a few
   hundred type signatures.
