Okay, mega Yuck then. Although it looks cool, I consider it as a bad practise. It confuses the hell out of people that they can add two objects. Use C++/Java if you want this...
BTW, in general Java also decided that it sucks. Except for + which is a bit magical it also requires to use verbose methods. This is a big time/life saver because operator overloading is very confusing and obscure. I think it's only nice in theory and not in real world usage.
