Operator overloading is not supported by ObjC, although it would be  
very helpful in some situations, e.g. when writing complex maths  
code. Instead of fiddling with GCC internals I would rather use the C  
preprocessor, though (even if this is far from elegant...).

The NSBundle documentation... or do you mean using the runtime  
directly???
