I do not understand how an operation that happens to be called
'+' is fundamentally different from an operation that is called
'add'.
The first one is an operator, which sometimes, may be rewritten
to function call, the second one is a function call.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Anyway, you can
write a pull request and propose it at github. It would be
interesting to see reaction of others.
