Hello!
I am trying to implement classes for vectors and matrices, and the
absence of operator overloading is a great inconvenience. a+b is much
easier to read than a.plus(b). Do you know if operator overloading
will be introduced at least to some degree in a subsequent version of
Java?
BTW, how come I can say s1 + s2, where s1 and s2 are Strings? Isn't
this a kind of operator overloading?
