A question:

	Given a class declaration, if I declare an `` operator = () '' (or
operator-anything-else) *as a private member function* what happens?  Does
the operator (which has an existing definition in the case of assignment)
become invisible to things outside of that class (and not friends) ?  Or
does the existing definition remain outside of the scope of the class and
friends?
