Operator overloading. Looks great. Reduces verbosity. Until it doesn’t.

It’s Great That You Provide Operator Overloads, But It’s Also Nice to Have Names

by Raymond Chen

From the article:

Consider this overloaded function call operator:

struct StorageLoader
{
    template<DataType>
    DataType operator()(StorageOptions<DataType> const* options);
};

The idea is that you can use the function call operator on a Storage­Loader object to load data from storage, using a StorageOptions to describe how you want it to be loaded.
