Can operators in Smalltalk be overloaded?

Question

Is it possible to overload operators in Smalltalk?

I am looking for tutorials/examples.

Thanks.

There's no operators in smalltalk, except assignment. Everything is implemented in classes as methods. So if you want to change behaviour of = or + / - methods, just look at their implementors. Or if you want to make instances of your class to understand those messages, just implement them.
