I have heard a few references lately to the possibility of adding to c++
an overloadable operator dot. I have a few questions about this:

1) Is the committee seriously considering this right now, or is this just
   a suggestion? If they are considering it, what are the chances of it
   passing?
2) If this suggestion is actually used, what is the syntax to invoke
   the normal (un-overloaded) dot operator?

Thanks for any information!
