operator overloads in types

[nddrylliog]

ie. be able to write that:

MyArray: cover template <T> {
    length: Int
    data: T*

    init: func@ (=length) {
        data = gc_malloc(T size * length)
    }

    get: func (index: Int) -> T {
        _checkIndex(index)
        data[index]
    }

    set: func@ (index: Int, value: T) {
        _checkIndex(index)
        data[index] = value
    }

    _checkIndex: func (index: Int) {
        if (index < 0 || index >= length) {
            Exception new("Out of bounds array access: %d should be in %d..%d" \
                format(index, 0, length)) throw()
        }
    }

    operator [] (i: Int) -> T {
        get(i)
    }

    operator []= (i: Int, v: T) {
        set(i, v)
    }
}

It'll also fix weird things like: using a lib that returns a List, and then you try to index it with [] but it doesn't work because you don't import ArrayList/List yourself.
