+/* {Operator classes}
+ *
+ * Instances of operator classes can work as operators, i. e., they
+ * can be applied to arguments just as if they were ordinary
+ * procedures.
+ *
+ * For instances of operator classes, the procedures to be applied are
+ * stored in four dedicated slots in the associated class object.
+ * Which one is selected depends on the number of arguments in the
+ * application.
+ *
+ * If zero arguments are passed, the first will be selected.
+ * If one argument is passed, the second will be selected.
+ * If two arguments are passed, the third will be selected.
+ * If three or more arguments are passed, the fourth will be selected.
+ *
+ * This is complicated and may seem gratuitous but has to do with the
+ * architecture of the evaluator. Using only one procedure would
+ * result in a great deal less efficient application, loss of
+ * tail-recursion and would be difficult to reconcile with the
+ * debugging evaluator.
+ *
+ * Also, using this "forked" application in low-level code has the
+ * advantage of speeding up some code. An example is method dispatch
+ * for generic operators applied to few arguments. On the user level,
+ * the "forked" application will be hidden by mechanisms in the GOOPS
+ * package.
+ *
+ * Operator classes have the metaclass <operator-metaclass>.
+ *
+ * An example of an operator class is the class <tk-command>.
