On: C++ named operators

[Sharlin]

* is a better choice if you need something arithmetic-like, for instance

    vector3 a, b;
    float f = a *dot* b;
    vector3 c = a *cross* c;

[nikbackm → Sharlin]

Don't you need to overload two different operators to implement these named operators though?

[krotton → nikbackm]

No, they could equally well be two different overloads of a single operator.
