In theory, what one is suppose to do is send the request to Lenkov or
Miller.  I have already done so, in regards to overloadable operator dot.
[ I'll post a plain-text copy of the request here. ]

I say "in theory" because I have never received any acknowledgement from
either, either in regards to my overloaded operator dot submission, nor
in response for request for [non-voting] membership information.

[ What Gives, Guys ??? ]

Please join me in lobbying for overloadable operator dot.  The people who
I've sent copies of the operator dot request to, who are suppose to be
responsible are:

Dmitry Lenkov
