Not to be unkind, but is this feature actually worth the code space?
I can barely see a use case for relocating operators, and as for the
other two, who's ever going to use them?
I understand about orthogonality and all that, but we have limited
manpower, and every thousand lines of code costs us ongoing maintenance
effort whether it's ever used in the field or not.
What I'd love to see is a patch that *removes* a few thousand lines
of code by finding a way to do this just once for all object types...
