Oops, I guess everyone knows how often I use the more explicit
operator syntax now. :)

Yes, 3.7.3.2 was at the root of my confusion.  After posting and
then later re-reading my own post I realized this.

I think that 3.7.3.2 is misleading.  I sent some mail to steve
talking about this.  I think it can be cleaned up by eliminating
the second sentance of paragraph 2 and being more explicit when
talking about the two member functions in question (i.e. not
using language that makes them seem like the only possible choices.)
