Hey Jordan,

thanks for bringing it up to a vote.

I've voted for an inclusion, for the primary reason, that in general, it do=
es, in fact, not get abused too much.

It seems to me, that many of the no-voters fear codebases riddled with rand=
om operator overloads where they make no sense.
I don't share that sentiment. Yes, there will always be some outliers, but =
it shouldn't hinder the general improvement it brings to readability and ex=
pressiveness. (I strongly disagree that gmp overloads are a net negative.)

For my part, I have had a positive experience with operator overloads in C#=
. They tend to not be overused, make Vector operations graspable (once you =
have a mental model of what vector operations feel and look like=E2=80=A6).
In the past I've really hated writing, and especially reading math heavy co=
de on something different than the standard euclidean space in PHP. (Vector=
s, complex numbers, integer spaces with a finite size=E2=80=A6)
I truly hope this RFC passes, so that these abominations of nested math cal=
ls may disappear.
