[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

There's also the operator=* tag even though I think that's not The One suitable for this case.

I do not want to complicate the matter but if I was to tag those I would have 
used the tag

but even then, the name-tag usually get something like "CU Garak". So it 
doesn´t solve anything, it just makes things more hard to change.
