Reverse binary operator overload #25

Closed amelentev closed 9 years ago

Use case - multiply double to Complex:

Complex a = new Complex(1.2, 2.3)
1.2*a

We can't add method multiply to double.

Solution: add method Complex#multiplyRev(double) This method will be used on second operand in cases where is no multiply method in left operand. So: 1.2 * a will be transformed to a.multiplyRev(1.2) This should work for every binary operator.
