Not only do I learn that PostgreSQL supports operator overloading, I learn
that this is not a bad thing. It's a big day for me!

I tend to think of operator overloading as an over used, non-portable C++
feature. I could be wrong about C++ too. Probably am. Don't want to debate C++
here!  Its just that C++ is what made my knee jerk.

Thanks for showing me the value of operator overloading in PostgreSQL.
