OperatorOverloader (Spring Framework 5.2.12.RELEASE API)

All Known Implementing Classes:
StandardOperatorOverloader
```
public interface OperatorOverloader
```
By default the mathematical operators Operation support simple types like numbers. By providing an implementation of OperatorOverloader, a user of the expression language can support these operations on other types.
