// For any class that has operator+=, defines a non-member operator+.  Ditto
// operator-=, *=, /=.
// To use these functions, your class must derive from
// class GenericArithmeticable (defined below), and furthermore define
// a unary operator-(), and a reciprocal() function.
//
// All of this is done more elegantly and completely in boost/operators.hpp;
// let's keep that in mind if we ever decide to use Boost.

/** Class that you need to derive from, if you want the *global* operators below
 *  to be available for your class.
 *  For example:
 *  class Foo : public GenericArithmeticable<double,Foo>
 *  {
 *    public:
 *      Foo() : GenericArithmeticable<double,Foo>(this)
 *      {
 *      }
 *      Foo& operator+=( const Foo& );
 *      Foo& operator+=( const double& );
 *      [etc]
 *  };

 *
 * If, in addition, you want the member-function operators, you'll need to
 * implement some generic operator-appliers in your derived class: see, in
 * GenericArithmeticI.H, operatorCompare() and operatorOpEquals().
 * If you implement operator<, operator+= etc in your derived class, then that'll
 * override the ones here (regardless of whether you've defined operatorCompare()
 * and operatorOpEquals() in your derived class, though it would then be weird if
 * you did).
