Operator Overloading in V

// Operator overloading goes against V's philosophy of simplicity and predictability.
// But since scientific and graphical applications are among V's domains, operator overloading is very important to have in order to improve readability:
// a.add(b).add(c.mul(d)) is a lot less readable than a + b + c * d.

// To improve safety and maintainability, operator overloading has several limitations:

// - It's only possible to overload +, -, *, / operators.
// - Calling other functions inside operator functions is not allowed.
// - Operator functions can't modify their arguments.
// - Both arguments must have the same type (just like with all operators in V).
