The only potential problem with this is operator overloading, though for
the specific case of Win32 (or X Window for that matter) point structure
   it's not a big deal since the original class does not have its own
arithmetics defined. If it did... well, one can always provide a simple
wrapper in the right namespace to resolve the ADL conflict. So I guess I
  don't disagree.
