Vic, Thanks for the clarification. I think we need to review this little more. For most operators, f.e:
LEFT + RIGHT LEFT - RIGHT LEFT * RIGHT LEFT / RIGHT LEFT ^ RIGHT The overloading context is determined the LEFT side of the operator. Also for ARRAY[INDEX] But for the $ operator it seem to be a "copy/past" mistake to use the LEFT context, because the actual operation (SCAN) is performed on the RIGHT side. Therefore IMO we should only have one overloading for $, and it should belong to the RIGHT side. Otherwise there's always the possibility of a conflict because both the LEFT and the RIGHT might be overloaded yielding a conflict. Opinions?
