Also [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1642028/what-is-the-operator-in-c/8909176#8909176) recently revived on [MSO](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/402446/is-this-old-answer-to-an-old-question-a-good-example-of-a-good-answer) happens to be applicable here, too ;-) – dxiv Oct 31 '20 at 07:21
