I'm not sure how "operator+" is supposed to be appreciably different from "__add__".


One is a sensible choice a human might pick. The other is not.


So who were the non-humans who picked the one you don’t like?


Both are doing their job just fine?


They are both sensible choices that a human did pick, that's how they got into their respective languages.


They have different locality of behavior, for one.


And what makes one name "special" while the other is only "pseudo-special"?


I meant as a choice of name.
