I think you have a good point when it comes to the public API exposed to users of a module or library; it's one thing if you are just using operator overloading in your internal implementations, but I'd imagine it'd be pretty confusing not seeing docstrings or being able to search for specific methods. Not sure how you would easily find that in the docs without peering into the object whose methods are overloaded.
