Question: Application of how to test types in a module

 About 6 years ago I aked  a question on testing types in a package. How to Test Input Typed to a Procedure to Determine what to do? - MaplePrimes.  @Carl Love supplied the very good code below. I never used the answer back then as I really didn't understand what to do with it. I have a somewhat of a better idea now and I really need to be able to use this in general..

 Basically the code checks that all the inputs are of the same type and order (which is what the original question specified).

 Q1:- I now need to check  a mixed input type

         A:: a 2 list , B a 3 list   

          or 

           A:: a 2 Vector, and B a 3 Vector.

         etc

       I tried modifying the ModuleApply part of the code at the end, but that either causes errors or kernal looses connection.

Q2:-  What is a good way to handle different numbers of inputs to procedures (exported) here eg Proc1(a), Proc2(a,b), ....,                   ProcN(a1,...,aN)

Q3:-    Would the package exports of the module be the procedures inside the Mydispatch? Or does all of MyModule sit inside                the  package module?

  I have three different packages I would like to apply this to in general.
