Operator overloading is my pet concupiscence and while I hear the wise warnings of its danger from those around me, I have always tried to add it to and empower it in languages that I have worked with. In fact, I have this recurring dream of a language in which every token is a potentially overloaded operator. Usually at this point, the dream turns a little sour as I can clearly see myself being chased and hurt by compiler writers and optimizers armed with the sharper (and in some cases) blunter language ops. I think though I die happy though knowing that simply by using the operators as instruments of torture, my assailants are overloading its meaning and validating my ideas. I don't know for sure though because usually at this point the straitjacket becomes a little uncomfortable and I am forced to roll over and sleep on the other padded wall. =) > I digress, but I was watching the final minutes of the > leaderboard in readiness for Career Money Leaders Update, > when to my horror, I saw "Jasvir Nagra 132.80".

Oh, the pain... *cackles maniacally* I actually had given up on the hole - I had a feeling rexexps were the way to go, but I'd tried and found it just completely beyond me to keep everything in my head. Simply overawed by the heavy traffic ahead on the leaderboard highway lead by the "van der Pijll 98 Stroke Wonder", I was going to content myself with a movie. But ten minutes into the movie, I suddenly remembered "perldoc overload" saying something about nomethod. I was so excited I actually, left the movie (ahem, and the company) to find a cyber cafe an hour before the competition finished. The post mortem reads mighty impressively - I itch to know what manna the golf gods will rain next month. -- Jasvir Nagra http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~jas/ echo [91PP93P[dx]P]dx|dc
