I have a java class Foo out of my control which has a method named div(Bar bar) ; Kotlin seems to allow the usage of this method as an operator. But this method, is not really what you can expect for a division. And I would like to implement the operator fun Foo.div(bar:Bar)=division(bar) to get the right action.... But as div exist, the extension is shadowed. I suppose I'm completely out of luck ? (No way to tell kotlin that the div() method in the class is not an operator method ?)

Bad luck

Thanks, now I’m sure ^^

you cannot shadow an existing method (operator or not) through an extension method
