Although you can overload
almost all the operators
available in C, the use of operator overloading is fairly restrictive. In
particular, you cannot combine operators that currently have no meaning in C
(such as ** to represent exponentiation), you cannot change the
evaluation precedence of operators, and you cannot change the number of
arguments required by an operator. This makes sense – all of these actions
would produce operators that confuse meaning rather than clarify
it.
