I think all operators must be overloadable. The key is to overload them 
_properly_. C++ botched a few (&&, ||, comma, ++, --) and that gave a 
bad reputation to the whole notion.

We've shown in D that e.g. ++ and -- are great to overload because it's 
done right. We can and we should do the same with all operators.
