what I don't understand is you took out some functions just to put them
back in as free functions. So why change these at all, that doesn't seem
to make sense to me. 

On the operator side if the lhs of an operator is one of our classes it
should be inside this class. Cluttering the global osg namespace is
quite annoying as all the possible variants are listed in case of
errors. So you get totally unrelated suggestions as to which possible
operators are available. I'm also not sure where they will show up in
the documentation.

So can we put these operators back into the classes they belong.

I only see exceptions if the lhs is not of our type or if you get
order conflicts, like having

operator *(Pnt &rhs) inside Matrix and operator *(Matrix &rhs) inside
point. If resolving this results in ugly include orders free operators
can be used as the last resort.

kind regards,
  gerrit
