I'm not scared of C++ at all. But I understand why the kernel developers might be, and I respect their position.

Looking at checkpatch.pl, it doesn't even know about operator overloading, or any other C++ feature - and the problem is not limited to operator overloading, but to any other C++ feature the kernel developers don't want to review.
