Once again, out of date documents are misleading folks. We need to  
fix this -- apologies. The language overview:

http://www.ecmascript.org/es4/spec/overview.pdf

and the evolutionary programming tutorial:

http://www.ecmascript.org/es4/spec/evolutionary-programming-tutorial.pdf

both discuss generic functions, which are how operators can be  
defined and overloaded. The wiki page for this proposal is:

http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=proposals:generic_functions

Please read this instead of the operators proposal that it obsoletes.
