demands the addition of the following operators:

       void *operator teenaged(void *object_pointer);
       void *operator mature(void *object_pointer);
       void *operator middle-aged(void *object_pointer);
       void *operator geriatric(void *object_pointer);
       void *operator corpse(void *object_pointer);
    
    Each of these should have instances for static, auto, and extern.
    
It just goes to show that living in the stone age can turn a brain to mush.
Three other operators are just as important.

       void *operator unborn(void *object_pointer);
       void *operator infant(void *object_pointer);
       void *operator child(void *object_pointer);

It would be impossible to write code without them.  Of course, they must be
implemented MY way.
