Provides a macro to simplify operator overloading. See the [documentation](https://docs.rs/overload/) for details and supported operators.

## Example

```rust
extern crate overload;
use overload::overload;

#[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Val {
v: i32
}

overload!((a: ?Val) + (b: ?Val) -> Val { Val { v: a.v + b.v } });
```

The macro call in the snippet above generates the following code:

```rust
impl std::ops::Add for Val {
type Output = Val;
fn add(self, b: Val) -> Self::Output {
let a = self;
Val { v: a.v + b.v }
}
}
impl std::ops::Add<&Val> for Val {
type Output = Val;
fn add(self, b: &Val) -> Self::Output {
let a = self;
Val { v: a.v + b.v }
}
}
impl std::ops::Add for &Val {
type Output = Val;
fn add(self, b: Val) -> Self::Output {
let a = self;
Val { v: a.v + b.v }
}
}
impl std::ops::Add<&Val> for &Val {
type Output = Val;
fn add(self, b: &Val) -> Self::Output {
let a = self;
Val { v: a.v + b.v }
}
}
```

We are now able to add `Val`s and `&Val`s in any combination:

```rust
assert_eq!(Val{v:3} + Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
assert_eq!(Val{v:3} + &Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
assert_eq!(&Val{v:3} + Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
assert_eq!(&Val{v:3} + &Val{v:5}, Val{v:8});
```
