No. I don't mean to deprecate the first step. What I mean when I say
"move things" is that we might end up refactoring the implementation
mechanics of the operators only feature when we implement the
functions/methods feature. As I have said in another mail, I want to
treat operators and functions/methods as two separate features. I want
to do this because I want operators to be available in all languages.
If we treat operators to be functions/methods, we will probably be
limiting this feature to C++.
