There is nothing in the spec about supporting operator 
overloading with free functions, so I don't know where you get 
the idea that it's even intended to be a feature. UFCS applies to 
functions which use the member function call syntax, and 
operators aren't used that way. There is no plan whatsoever to 
support operator overloading via free functions.
