If operator overloading in perl6 was like operator overloading in most languages, that would be a very valid school of thought.<p>Thing is, operators in perl6 are basically multimethods under the hood, as is pretty much everything else - so it&#x27;s a much saner, more predictable thing than, say, the bag of razorblades that is perl5 overloading (which I&#x27;ve used to good effect, but, still, razorblades ;).
