operator-overloading

Hi,

I would like to overload the (/) operator in F# for strings and preserve the meaning for numbers.

/// Combines to path strings
let (/) path1 path2 = Path.Combine(path1,path2)

let x = 3 / 4 // doesn't compile

If I try the following I get "Warning 29 Extension members cannot provide operator overloads. Consider defining the operator as part of the type definition instead."

/// Combines to path strings
type System.String with
  static member (/) (path1,path2) = Path.Combine(path1,path2)

Any ideas?

Regards, forki
