That's not an argument against operator overloading. The question is why would it not be appropriate for PHP? Dynamic typing has been mentioned, and when I said that it exists in other dynamically typed languages, as well, I get the reply that "PHP is not language xxx". What kind of reply is that?! Ilia Alshanetsky suggested in a posting that the PHP community in general might not be ready for its safe introduction (i.e. they would typically misuse it). I hope it's not the case; after all, it's not such an "advanced" feature, when several mainstream languages has it.
