The additional logic necessary to process and route the arguments would introduce branches and logic that would resulting in a degradation of performance. The <code>Vector</code> class I used as an example, typically used in graphics-intensive scenarios, is one that should eliminate as much superfluous baggage as possible. Hmmm. It'd be worthwhile to explore/compile/expound on the various methods, tricks, etc., that may be employed when creating a public interface, with pros and cons for each. I'll have to consider. Thanks for the feedback.

What do you think about delegating the plus operation to private functions that handle the differences in parameters?

What do you think about delegating the plus operation to private functions that handle the differences in parameters? You could solve for variable parameter lengths using the arguments object or args... (as3). This way you could accomplish all operations with one clean public function. Hi Eric.

Admittedly, the actual statements are beyond me, but I appreciate your lyricism nonetheless--you Bard of C++, you. Nice.
