Division operator for strings doesn't make any sense,
That's why overloading / to do something completely unrelated
to division is anti-ethical to writing understandable code.

The classic example of this is the overloading of << and >>
for stream operations in C++.
Or overloading ~ to mean "concat" ?
It's rather C++'s std::string which overloads the meaning of + to
mean "concatenation". I wonder if some other programming language
has assigned some other symbol (than ~) to mean "concatenation".
I guess math uses || for it.
