So you would be equally critical of overloading [] for maps?
Sorry, hard for me to relate, as I've overloaded [] (in, say, Python) to make life easy on everyone. People loved it.
I hope you're aware that there is a long standing debate on whether overloading operators is good/bad, and it comes down to personal preference?

No, I'm not sure how you got that impression. Overloading is great.
It's also confusing when it does something completely different from what you intuitively expect.
