This supposes std::string& and float& accurately captures the operands
and the type of the operator (which is assumed here to be non-member).
No matching function 'operator-' in 'h - k + i' for operands 'h' ofr
type "..." and 'k * i' of type.
It is tempting to describe C++ expressions in terms of types; it might
work in small. It does not scale behond trivial cases, and shows up
in diagnostics in interesting cases.
