Ints, nats, floats, complexes, quaternions, column and row vectors, matrices,
tensors, inner and outer products, symbolic expressions... This is why I like
operator overloading.
For example, Smoke has the multiplications: * (int), *. (float), *| (vector
scaling), *|| (matrix-vector transform) and *||| (matrix-matrix multiply).
Operator overloading and template metaprogramming were the only things I
missed moving from C++ to OCaml. :-)
