   While this is true, I think people tend not to think of it   
   as overloading when the operations are similar, such as fixed   
   point and floating point addition.   
      
   There have been complaints about Java, which claims not to have   
   operator overloading, and then uses the + operator for String   
   concatenation.   
      
   Lots of fun is you do things like:   
      
   int i=3;   
   System.out.println(i+i+"="+i+i);
