And my reasoning would be if I look for overloaded operators that I would 
certainly start with a prefix (whether it be o or op is debatable)
On the other hand starting with an empty prefix, I would assume you're 
somewhere in the woods and need some serious help. More is not always better 
.... from my experience.

that's also an option

But are we on the same page if I say this applies to objects only and dealing
