Even outside of OO, most languages overload `+` to mean "integer
addition" when applied to integers and "double-precision float addition"
when applied to double-precision floats.
IOW while I agree that overloading is a nightmare, the absence of
overloading also tends to be a nightmare ;-)

Ethernet and even less so when applied to trouble"
