  Comparison and assignment.  Operators aren't all arithmetic.
  C already supports assignment of structures, but I miss comparison
regularly.  (Note -- I'm not changing the subject to suggest yet again
that equality comparison of structures be implemented, I'm talking
about the uses of operator overloading; just in case the other is
still a touchy subject here :-).
