Uhm :-( It seems you did not read the part of my email which said *the same 
user*. The user which does not care about possibly different initialization 
order probably does not care about special properties of operator,().

As Andras Erdei the gap between people who know about special properties of 
operator(), and those who know that overloaded version does not have that 
properties is very, very narrow.
