Rollup merge of #24725 - steveklabnik:doc_operators_and_overloading, r=alexcrichton

I forgot these heavily use associated types, so move it after that
as well.

 % Operators and Overloading
 
-Coming soon!
+Rust allows for a limited form of operator overloading. There are certain
+operators that are able to be overloaded. To support a particular operator
+between types, there’s a specific trait that you can implement, which then
+overloads the operator.
+
+For example, the `+` operator can be overloaded with the `Add` trait:
+
+```rust
+use std::ops::Add;
+
+#[derive(Debug)]
+struct Point {
+    x: i32,
+    y: i32,
+}
+
+impl Add for Point {
+    type Output = Point;
+
+    fn add(self, other: Point) -> Point {
+        Point { x: self.x + other.x, y: self.y + other.y }
+    }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let p1 = Point { x: 1, y: 0 };
+    let p2 = Point { x: 2, y: 3 };
+
+    let p3 = p1 + p2;
+
+    println!("{:?}", p3);
+}
+```
+
+In `main`, we can use `+` on our two `Point`s, since we’ve implemented
+`Add<Output=Point>` for `Point`.
+
+There are a number of operators that can be overloaded this way, and all of
+their associated traits live in the [`std::ops`][stdops] module. Check out its
+documentation for the full list.
+
+[stdops]: ../std/ops/index.html
+
+Implementing these traits follows a pattern. Let’s look at [`Add`][add] in more
+detail:
+
+```rust
+# mod foo {
+pub trait Add<RHS = Self> {
+    type Output;
+
+    fn add(self, rhs: RHS) -> Self::Output;
+}
+# }
+```
+
+[add]: ../std/ops/trait.Add.html
+
+There’s three types in total involved here: the type you `impl Add` for, `RHS`,
+which defaults to `Self`, and `Output`. For an expression `let z = x + y`, `x`
+is the `Self` type, `y` is the RHS, and `z` is the `Self::Output` type.
+
+```rust
+# struct Point;
+# use std::ops::Add;
+impl Add<i32> for Point {
+    type Output = f64;
+
+    fn add(self, rhs: i32) -> f64 {
+        // add an i32 to a Point and get an f64
+# 1.0
+    }
+}
+```
+
+will let you do this:
+
+```rust,ignore
+let p: Point = // ...
+let x: f64 = p + 2i32;
+```
