although I see that your code allows to model the problem, its actually  
artificial and rather cumbersome to pass the implementing class as a  
parameter, wherever I'd need such an operator.
And the knowledge that the parameter Foo has to match the class' name is  
implicit by the design and cannot be checked by the compiler.

Kind regards,
