input proc optional

I have a example overloaded procdeure below. Due to '=' the optional input in the 2nd proc gets trapped in the 1st proc. I have tried various ways to get around this. Obviously I could make the  optional input in the 2nd proc non-optional if all else fails. Is there a way around this?

option overload;
if not(has([_params[2]],point)) then #if true need to go the next proc

print("1st proc ",l1," ",l2);
return
end if;
end proc,

proc(l1::{`+`,`*`,`=`, `symbol`,procedure,not(list)},
{point::list:=NULL}) #oprional input

print("2nd proc",l1,"point",point);

end proc

3*x+4*y-5

  

4*x-8*y = 5

  

[3, 5]
