	Yes it is, as soon as the code required for the operation depends
on the data types on either side of the operator it's overloaded. It's just
done at the compiler level and not made extensible by the programmer in
FORTRAN. Making it extensible by the programmer does of course open up all
sorts of possibilities for abuse - but it is nonetheless useful when used
appropriately to aid code clarity. For example if I happen to be writing
code that deals with vectors a lot it would be useful to be able to add
them and multiply them by scalars without wordy function calls obscuring
the logic.
