  1. There was a typo in the last section. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/doc/src/devdocs/types.md#subtyping-and-method-sorting

Additionally, if 2 methods are defined with identical signatures, per type-equal, then they will instead *by compared by order of addition, such that the later method is more specific than the earlier one.

  1. Also correct the World age link in the last line of Redefining Methods .

The implementation of this behavior is a "world age counter", which is further described in the Worldage manual chapter.

Tests pass except for one timeout. I don't think these changes caused that timeout.
