So why not have the struct/class explicitly import external 
operators? You can do this currently with a separate module 
defining them and then the struct/class imports the whole thing. 
Kind of annoying, but would get the job done, no?

Alternately, you could invent some new syntax. Maybe something 
like

import this : Matrix plus(Matrix A, Matrix B);
