Yes, I intended to try to overload the array operations on an array of structures. I just want to use the simple syntax for the operations. a[]= b[]+c[]; a[] = b[] + 4; a[] *= 4; where a, b, c are arrays of structures, and then overload the operations. It seems to me that should require names for the array operations being overloaded.
