Operators can be bridged using the existing Swift mechanisms, in this case 
operator overloading, so the proposal does not need to address operators.

All of these will be up to the Python bridge implementation or implementations. 
This proposal is not a proposal of how to bridge Python and Swift, it is only 
enabling (not requiring) a decent syntax for these kinds of bridges.
