A much welcome addition, seriously! I'll have to retrain my fingers
from typing "python" whenever I need to do a quick calculation.

Also, to pop the champagne, this just _had_ to be done ;)

]cat iostream.lua

std = {}
std.cout = {
   __shl = function(a, b)
      io.write(b)
      return std.cout
   end
}
setmetatable(std.cout, std.cout)
std.endl = "\n"



]cat hellocpp.lua

require "iostream"

_= std.cout << "Hello overloadable bitwise operators!" << std.endl


Cheers!
