Operator overloading is nothing special, really. It's just plain
polymorphism, either compile-time or run-time. What makes it seem special
is the syntax.
Anyway it's not aliasing, it's the opposite of it: one name for several
things rather than several names for one thing.
or things like "from math import radians as rad" in Python.
Yes, that would be an example of aliasing.
