You can specify overloads with the following syntax:

"Namespace.Vector2::Method(Type1,... TypeN)"

e.g.:

"Namespace.Vector2::Method()"
"Namespace.Vector2::Method(int32)"
"Namespace.Vector2::Method(int32,bool)"
"Namespace.Vector2::Method(Namespace.TypeName)"

Primitive types have a shortcut (see mono/metadata
/icall.c:type_from_typename() in Mono's sources),
while other type must be fully specified.
