[DGD] operator functions for light-weight objects

I've implemented C++-style operator functions for light-weight objects.
Example:
object operator + (object addition)
{
/* return this_object() + addition */
}
which permits the light-weight object with the function above to be used
in an expression like: obj1 + obj2.
Only operators which did not already have a meaning for objects can be
defined in this manner. Operator functions should always return a new
light-weight object which represents the result. The sole exception
is operator []=, which represents indexed assignment; this function
should modify the current object and return nothing:
void operator []= (mixed index, mixed value)
{
/* perform this_object()[index] = value */
}
Further information is given in the commit in the github repository.
