Is this a operator overloading bug?

[Tim Fang]

' Vector3 opMul(float s)
' {
'  Vector3 ret; // <-- creates new, and
'  ret.x = x*s; // <-- oh, wait a sec ... this x should be initialized

-- x is the member of "Vector3 a", which is declared and initialized in 
"main()".



'  ret.y = y*s;
'  ret.z = z*s;
'  return ret;
' }
'}

Yes, but the default initializer for float is NaN, so:

' Vector3 opMul(float s)
' {
'  Vector3 ret; // <-- creates new, and
'  ret.x = x*s; // <-- oh, wait a sec ... this x should be initialized
'  ret.y = y*s;
'  ret.z = z*s;
'  return ret;
' }
'}

Now I'm confused ... :)
Maybe it's really a bug.
