Dissecting the stdlib II
summary
Reads the stdlib source to show concrete code patterns: operator overloading implemented as extension or member functions (example: Ship/crew plus and minus, which compile and run), compiler behavior that auto-derives plusAssign from plus and can change semantics, use of extension functions to add iterator and contains without implementing interfaces, destructuring via componentN and the componentN limit for non-data classes, infix functions as a clearer alternative to +=, and bytecode checks that explain why interoperability with Java behaves as it does.
