Most problems people have with operator overloading seem to be caused by the same issue that makes them whine about "debugging metaprogramming" (I referenced that in other comment here). Namely, instead of trying to understand the code and the model behind it, they try to bring over their own assumptions about how the code should work.

That 5-component object compared by ==? How does it work? Sit down, read the code and find out. The answer depends on what exactly the object represents and what makes sense in the domain model.

That's exactly the issue. When its a small program that works fine. A large one? Its a matter of time and effort. Anything can be looked into, with time. Which is money. And effort over time ~mistakes.

Its too simple to do victim-blaming here. You don't understand my code? Well, just read it all so you know how clever I was.

If you want to write code that can be easily assimilated, which most readers would think they understood from its source and not by reading it at some meta-level, then you have to code with one hand behind your back.
