How to make Operator overloading safe: make it easy to use overloaded
operators, but *really* painful to implement. For example, the name of
each overloaded operator & class could be used to generate a series of
page and word counts for a bunch of documents only available on red
photo-copy proof paper. The syntactic lemon-juice would require these
words to be included in order to compile.
