You say it's terrible to use an alternative operator but then don't really say why Why is that bad? In Haskell, + is reserved for Num, which require some other properties that you can't guarantee for vectors. It'd be pretty bad to run afoul of that in a physics conversation. Haskell certainly can let the + operator mean multiple things in multiple contexts.
