Now that Massimo helped me with the language (thanks!), I finally understood what you meant, but what's the downside that is so apparent? I fail to see it, the backend is been working solid for several months now with overloadable operators doing all the grunt work.
What would be a down side in your opinion?

Thomas covered my objections pretty well. This has nothing to do with NewRPL by the way.

Overloading is a problem when operators or commands work similarly in most cases but fall apart for edge cases and act inconsistently. We had a few examples already in this thread. Just because something is convenient or easy most of the time doesn't mean it's a good choice all the time.
