Please elaborate on the myriad of downsides that operator overloading is chained to. I am honestly not aware of any downsides that are unique to operator overloading
Hint: Things like "they can be abused" or "you can do crazy things like have + return a dot product" are not unique to operators. I can very easily define .clone() in Java to return a dot product as well, or have .equals() do in-place addition.
