Swift style syntax

[Isiah Meadows]

Problem: that is currently a runtime ReferenceError, and it looks
ugly. And operator overloading has already been floated around in the
value types proposal. Having it available for everything isn't that
great of an idea, but for at least value types, it's not a bad one.
And the syntax/semantics here (in your email) is not very good. Also,
what about classes?

```js
class Pair {
  constructor(x, y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }

  operator(+)(other) {
    return new Pair(this.x + other.x, this.y + other.y)
  }

  // etc.
}
```

I don't like that arbitrary behavior. It's non-obvious. -1 from me.
