I worked on operator overloading for Unicon while I was at NMSU.
I believe my changes are checked into the Unicon cvs repository on sourceforge.
Operator overloading is not turned on be default (yet) rightly as you will see from the explanation below.
To turn on operator overloading get the sources from cvs and
1. go to src/h/define.h and uncomment OVLD
2. build both icont and iconx.
See the attached file uniconovld.icn for an example of how to use the operator overloading feature. I have also attached a file that has the map of operators to method names.
The problem with turning this on by default is that operator overloading makes incompatible changes the icon runtime. This means that if you are using the runtime capable of operator overloading you cannot use it to execute unicon programs built with a unicon compiler that does not comprehend operator overloading. Please note there are no semantic changes to the compilation process. Existing unicon code will work fine with the new runtime as long as it is compiled with the right compiler.
Please let me know if anyone needs any help in using this feature

I was working on an unicon arbitrary pecision math class a couple years ago & had it mostly working. But I would like to use unicon operators. I think I read there was a plan for them. Is there such a think or is it in the works? ( Like c++ operators.)
