can i overload `Double::div`? i'd like for it to return `0.0` when dividing by `0.0` in this scope

you could create a `safeDiv` method
without the benefit of an operator

yeah, i can, but it's a shame i can't just overload it

what's the term for overriding a function in a scope, then?

sorry, i meant overriding the first time
overriding means a parent-child relationship
and the child overrides the behavior of the parent
that’s what you want:
you have a class `Double`
a function `div()`
and you want to change its behavior
this is not possible...
unless you create your own subclass of `Double`
and it’s final

That would be called shadowing but it's not possible: <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/extensions.html#extensions-are-resolved-statically>
