They should put big intrusive warnings on operator overloads to discourage their use, like "Warning, you are using the complement operator for an operation which does not appear to be a complement. Don't do this!" (or alternatively, drop operator overloads from the language, because they are abused more often than not). I don't really see how `name =~ "somepat"` is any more readable or writable than something like `name.matches("somepat")`, which can be trivially added as an extension of String, and needs no special syntactic support. Something like this: extension String { func matches(pattern: String) -> Bool { return Regex.new(pattern).test(self) } }
