No one has said it yet, so here's my advice, check the operator module
for names you should call your 'overloaded' operators, the ones with
__name__ are ones that can be 'overloaded'.

Ah, thanks. Mozilla had dropped the earlier messages, but Google
Groups helped me out.

And yes, I see that that was exactly your point. :-)

The day "most" developers use Python is the day it stops being a
competitive advantage. ;)

Seriously, if you are starting a company with a good product idea in
mind, Python would be an excelent choice to get you going. (Wasn't a
certain search engine company started that way?)
