Then this seems to be the way to go, thanks Chad.

And because we are at it: please provide the ability to abstract 
operators into families of operators by allowing an index.

This might look like (+:0), (+:1), (+:2), ... where (+) is a shorthand 
for (+:0).

Because of the overloading capabilities I do not see any other urgent 
need for this than to allow redundancy, but I might be wrong.
