C++'s operator overloading lets me write arithmetic on ordered pairs of numbers in a civilized fashion. The fact that other idiots do strange, idiotic, crack-addled things with it is not, and will never be, sufficient to persuade me that it is not a good and valuable feature which improves the language of which it is a part.

Also, what is this C++ FAQ that Yossi keeps ranting about? I've never read it, it has never occurred to me to look for a C++ FAQ, and I can't imagine why one would look for a C++ FAQ.

I'd like to say that the C++ FAQ here is an absolutely fantastic resource. Especially for students coming from Java like myself.
