Hi Sean, 

You could use the same technique to define functions that uses Compile.

f[x_Integer]=Compile[...];
f[x_Real]=Compile[...];

The commands Set and SetDelayed are permament versions of Rule and
RuleDelayed.
(with the condition that Rule and RuleDelayed needs to be used in
conjunction with Replace or similar commands)
