Let me expand on what I think is the point of the GP: I hate operator overloading myself, but at the same time I'm also certain there are use cases where it is a big win. (I assume it is in Swift because it could be motivated well.) You'll have to specify coding standards anyway -- and make certain that they are followed. Just add a paragraph about having to get a senior developer's signature on any use of operator overloading, on pain of needing to update the CV.
