Because in the end it's unreadable. Math operators should be limited to
purely math operations, on integers and reals. Otherwise people will
create operators with side-effects, and parsing that code will be
error-prone at best for a human.

I have seen what operator overloading does in a big project with
"creative" programmers. No thanks.
