I believe you meant to say `operator->*'.

The `extension' was to add a unary `operator->*' with essentially the
same rules as `operator->()'; with the binary operator->*, it is not
possible to provide a general mechanism equivalent to that of built-in
pointers (you could only overload operator->* for pointer to member
functions with a predetermined limit on the number of parameters).
