And then my head explodes.
I mean, it's cool and all, but this is about the same issue I remember from my
C++ days - people complaining that all that operator overloading meant that
you really didn't know what was going on; following code flow becomes more
difficult. And any time magic is added, we have to be careful.
Of the wrongful death lawsuits from all those maintenance developers tracking
down and killing the original developers.
