proposal: allow overloading on operator. just as just about every other operator can be overloaded. why? to allow the creation of smart reference classes, by analogy to smart pointer classes. for example, if you want to implement reference counted pointers you need to overload operator-> and if you want to implement reference counted references you need to overload operator. so rules for overloading operator. would be analogous to the rules for overloading operator-> ????
