Hi,

  Is it possible to create a lambda that behaves like an operator
overload? 
That is, instead of calling it with the operator() syntax, it will be
called by some other, e.g. binary, infix operator.

Is it possible to generically simulate this somehow just like lambdas
can as structs overloading the () operator. The problem is just how to
get the compiler/ADL to call the correct function based on the operator.

Thanks!
Adi
