That should be either a separate proposal or a refinement to this one.  I suspect we’ll go with the later approach just because the changes are “obvious”, but I don’t speak for the whole core team with that opinion.

The core team requests one minor modification: in an effort to reduce the scope of the proposal, it should specifically require that operator declarations in classes be written as static (or equivalently, as “final class”).  In the future, support for operators may be extended to support dynamic dispatch, and the core team wants to keep the design space open.  The core team also observed that the impact on the standard library is not captured in this proposal, but that can be incorporated later (as an amendment to this proposal) since it should have little user impact.
