Catching up on responses, while adding operators for numerical types 
would certainly improve the readability of numerical code using 
non-primitive types, for Project Coin and JDK 7, I think efforts in this 
area should focus on getting [] and []= for collection-like types since 
they are much more often used than numerical types in Java programming.
