Subject: renaming Interfaces.Java.Ada_To_Java_String to the + operator

Does anyone know who's idea it was to rename the
Interfaces.Java.Ada_To_Java_String function to the "+"
operator in the Intermetrics Java bindings?  I'm
using the Aonix ObjectAda translator but assume that
the Java class library came from Intermetrics.

Thanks much for this clever little idea.  IMHO, it
really improves ease of use and code readability. 

Does this idea originate with the Java work at
Intermetrics or does it predate it?

I find the inverse of + useful as well:

   function "-" (s : String_Ptr) return String
      renames Interfaces.Java.Java_To_Ada_String;

Does anyone think this is a misuse of operator
overloading?
