If the overloaded operator (or function) can't be crystal clear, don't
overload it. That's my point.

Offhand, I can't think of any type for which it would be reasonable to
overload all of the operators used above, and sqrt(), unless the value
of 'y' came out as (mytype)0 in the end - but I wouldn't be surprised if
you could come up with a reasonable counter-example (it's trivial, of
course, to come up with an unreasonable counter-example).

Your example is NOT clear solely because the name 'mytype' conveys no
special meaning. Good design is not just about the interface of a type,
but also involves the name of the type. The only thing that particular
type name conveys is information about the ownership of the type. If the
name of the type doesn't convey the information the user needs to know
in order to understand what the above code means, then it wasn't
properly named, or the user doesn't know enough about the meaning of the
type to justify using it.
