  People keep repeating that, and there's never any substance to the claim.

  I have been programming in C++ both as a hobby and professionally for
over 15 years now, and I have yet to encounter a piece of code where it's
confusing which operation is being performed.

  That's an especially dishonest example because it won't actually compile
if c is a stream because streams are not assignable.
