Yes ;-). But in the case of "=", there are some strict rules
(returns boolean, "/=" implictly defined) that restrain your
creativity.
What about the evil:
function "/" (Source : String; Max_Length : Natural) return Record_Type;
-- Implementation left to the reader.
X := "Hello" / 80; -- Better document somewhere the notation ;-).
