I have some Ada code that overloads the + operator.  When I wrote the
code, I specified the left and write operand types.  In C++ it seems as
though I can only overload the + operator in relation to a class.  I
have a structure that contains 3 elements.  I want to add a value to the
structure.  Do I need to create a class and the add a value to the
object?
