Can I define an operator overload that works with built-in / intrinsic / primitive types?
No, the C++ language requires that your operator overloads take at least one operand of a “class type” or enumeration type. The C++ language will not let you define an operator all of whose operands / parameters are of primitive types. For example, you can’t define an operator== that takes two char*s and uses string comparison.
