1. Re: foperator overloading (was Re:fraclib.e)

Interesting. The syntax should(could) be something as trivial as:
include custom_type_redefine.e -- global redefine()
function f_add(blah,
blah,
blah
end function
-- <no difference to normal yet>
type ftype(blah...
redefine("+","f_add")
...
end type
...
...
..
Somehow I realise there is true potential here, but a convincing
example escapes me (hint, hint)

PS as "+" is both a unary and binary operator, you might have to
redefine({"+",2},{"f_add",2}). Other stuff too.
