That's probably true in almost all cases. Operators are generally
defined as part of an extension that offers interesting types and
opclasses, and these are C extensions anyway. I haven't ever seen
someone define a convenience operator like they might define a
convenience function.
Perhaps some use it for some clever hacks around unmodifiable
application code or something?
