To add insult to perversion, I will mention Haskell. Have you had a look at
Haskell's type classes? They allow you to write "+" or "print" to mean many
different things, while not doing actual overloading.
So if all you care about is usability for programmer, and not so much about
overloading for the sake of overloading, type classes might be a nice option.
