Generic overloading tells me this is the same function. Not agree.

base class:

Class List(Of T)
    Function Contains(ByVal value As T) As Boolean

derived class:

Class Bar : List(Of Exception) ' Exception type as example '
    Function Contains(Of U)(ByVal value As U) As Boolean

compiler tells me that that two are the same, so I need to declare Overloads/new this second function.

But I want use U to differentiate the type (one logic) like NullReferenceException, ArgumentNull Exception, etc. but want to leave the base function(no differentiation by type - other logic) as well.
