As Andras Erdei the gap between people who know about special properties

operator(), and those who know that overloaded version does not have that properties is very, very narrow.
Let's not forget that this basis is just a conjecture.
The opposite statement, that user expects operator, to do sequencing and will expect the same from overloaded one, is conjecture as well. I think it's a bit hard to draw any definitive conclusion that overloading operator, is evil unless users of assignment library will start complaining here, and I don't thin I have more to add. - Volodya
