Operator overloading is like spicy peppers. A little bit can make the program better, but it's very easy to use too much.

Unfortunately, like spicy peppers, everyone's definition of "too much" is different. Some people are eating ghost chili peppers just fine while others are struggling with ketchup.

Which is why we've banned spicy food: it's just too risky to be used safely.
