but I think that puts the emphasis on the wrong thing. If (and that's a big
if) we did something like this, it should be a pair of methods __op__ and
the right-hand version __rop__ which get called on the *operands*, not the
operator/function object:
def __op__(self, other, symbol)
I thought the operator should have a say in how it operates, e.g. the operater `dot` could call __dot__ in its operands.
class Vector:
def _dot(self, other):
return sum([i * j for i, j in zip(self, other)])
class dot(operator):
def __infix__(self, left, right):
return left._dot(left, right)
>>>Vector([1,2,3]) dot Vector([3,4,5])

Making the declaration and import of operators more explicit than the `def __op__(self, other, symbol)` version. We could put [/, *, ., //, etc...] in __builtins__
