Why does C++ allow operator "->" to be overloaded but does not allow
operator "." to be overloaded?

Thanks and regards

Please start by searching the archives. This question has already been
answered. BTW, do you have a copy of "Design and Evolution of C++"?
You might want to get one.

You might like to know that there is a better group for this kind of
question, comp.std.c++. It is a moderated group so anticipate a substantial
delay before you get an answer.
