Exactly. And that must be one of the reasons the Java designers said
no to operator overloading? That kind of programmers just don't like
operators I guess. But we do :-) Although I would prefer nice math
symbols and layout instead of the :~ ASCII art.

PS: Wolfgang also seems to use nice names in Grapefruit for his types, e.g.

This example is admittedly kind of silly, but I'm sure someone has a
passionate attachment to one or both names, so requiring definitions
to use one or the other would be
