The multiplication operator can ONLY be used on

I'm not convinced about that part. I notice that
subtraction, multiplication and division are bundled
into a single interface Numeric, but there is a
separate one called Summable for addition --
apparently so that they could use + for string
concatenation.
This seems to be a case of one rule for the language
designers and a different one for everyone else.
If it's okay for '+' to be used on something that's
not a number, why not '*'?
