Follow-up Comment #5, bug #51605 (project octave):
Since function arguments are passed as if by value, how would overloading ++
and -- work? Are you proposing that you could only overload them for handle
classes?
It seems to me that it would be far simpler to just say that ++ and -- are
special syntax that only applies to built-in numeric types and that they can't
be overloaded.
Similarly, I think the OP= operators should just be syntactic sugar for RHS =
RHS OP LHS.
