I wrote up a design a while back for what might be called value proxies,
which extend the Javascript proxy proposal to also trap primitive
operators, enabling libraries for bignums or decimals, etc.
The write-up is for an idealized 'micro-Javascript' language,
but still helps clarify parts of the
I just want to mention that this is an awesome paper. And I like its
approach to introducing operator overloading into the language.

Are you suggesting a) that struct types should always be value types, or b)
some sort of extension to the binary data spec that allows the creation of
immutable structs that are value types?
I'm afraid a) just seems unworkable -- compound binary data needs to be
mutable, and its sub-components
