Perhaps we could use an Attribute to bind the operator to the method, which
would also reduce the impact on tools that need to parse class definitions:
class Collection{ #[Operator('+')]

An interesting extension would be to have an optional argument to the Attribute
which binds separate methods for each direction of arguments, rather than
exposing it as a parameter:
class Number{ #[Operator('/', OperandPosition::LeftSide)]
public function divideBy(Number $divisor) {}
#[Operator('/', OperandPosition::RightSide)]
publicfunction fractionOf(Number $dividend) {}
}
Sorry about the whitespace mess in the above examples; this may or may not show
better:
class Collection{
#[Operator('+')]
public function union(Collection $other, OperandPosition $operandPos) {}
}
class Number{
#[Operator('/', OperandPosition::LeftSide)]
public function divideBy(Number $divisor) {}
#[Operator('/', OperandPosition::RightSide)]
public function fractionOf(Number $dividend) {}
}
