I fully agree. Who am I? I just lurk on this mailinglist, but operator
overloading is something I hope stays out of C forever. If you have
ever had to wade through a multitude of header files to figure out what
an operator does on a certain object, I think you'll know what I mean.
So never add it to C. It's a slippery slope.
