     (Aside: I know of a language that used "||" for this purpose.)

     This "overload" is feeble at best: "+" is overloaded six ways,
"-" five, "*", "/", "%", "++", "--", "<", "<=", ">", and ">=" four
each.  "==" and "!=" and "=" and "." and "instanceof" are overloaded
to an infinite degree (countable, I think).  So what?
