I've built some sizable based systems that used overloading and partial template specialization to do their thing. It was a nightmare to debug, hard to explain to other people and generally a pain in the ass. Want to really go down the rabbit hole, try <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Design-Programming-Patterns-Depth/dp/0201704315" rel="nofollow">this book</a>! I do find std::istringstream handy for ad hoc parsing though. Yeah, I’m not a big fan of overloading in general.

Operator overloading is troublesome to begin with - there are very few times when it makes for easy programming - usually it just leads to endless confusion. iostreams is one of the worst perversions of operator overloading ever.

IMHO, printf kicks the << operator's pointy overloaded ass. One of the things I never understood about iostreams was the allergy that C++ purists seem to have to format strings.
