+1 for XOR. Given that the semantics are not necessarily what one would
expect from a Python __add__, and given that we need a way to support
overloaded signatures anyway, I'm +0.5 for a syntax that differs from
Python, such as the above "operator+". Developers who use this feature must
be familiar with C++ syntax anyway, so keeping the declarations close to
C++ is a plus (pun intended).
