(2^19)+6th reason why C++ sucks

error: overloaded 'operator=' must be a non-static member function

This bitch does not allow me to implement custom operator= for class that I can't modify(well, I can apt-get source or modify header files but it's too dirty).

I can overload += as static non-member function just fine.

So in other words, if I need to use Library1 that provides Vector3 and Library2 that provides VecXYZ and these libraries do not know about existence of each other I can write additional functions so vector3+vecXYZ,vector3+=vecXYZ will work but assignment is no-no. Thou shalt not write functions for converting one type of vectors to another.

WTF? Where is justice?

In short, C++ doesn't suck. You do.
