Isn’t that the premise behind the CAPTCHA?
Why is that? Won’t it be more ergonomic than needing to call, say `.add`, when you want to do something clearly similar to addition. It’s just sugar, no?
In Java, there is no operator overloading, so if you want to compare 2 strings by contents rather than their memory addresses, you have to use a `.equals` method. Comparing 2 strings by their contents is the most common use case, so it not being the default is a design flaw (similar to how you need to `break` out of a `case` in most languages).
If you can’t overload the addition operator, then why have a whole language construct that can only be used on primitive integers and floats?
