I think what's significant about + overloading (unlike the overloading

implementation of * in the way that

    public Stream
    toStream()

        System.exit(0);

would cause + to behave unexpectedly.


If one were able to define such a method in a class that overloaded +. I
don't know of an example in Java where one could.

public class SideEffect {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
     Object o = new SideEffect();
     System.out.print("Hello, ");
     String someString = "X" + o;
     System.out.println("World");
   }
   public String toString(){
     System.exit(3);
     return null;
   }
}

toString does overload part of the functionality of "+", the string
conversion step when one operand is a string and the other is a
reference expression.
