It's intentional, one of the main goals of vala is to have libraries
that can be used from C. So methods must have sensible names (i.e.
name mangling is not an option)

btw, Vala has named creation methods (a.k.a. named constructors) so
there is no need for overloading (Yes, it would be useful but not
necessary)

No. See above.
