To be honest, I recommend to abandon all ideas of operator overloading for arbitrary types - that's extremely unlikely to happen. It's heavily affects optimization possibilities, requires extensive type checks. Moreover, there is no interest from browser vendors to implement it.
However, I expect that in far future we will be able to overload operators if we get structs (having native complex numbers and matrices would be great).
