I debated myself about which one to use in the example. The dunder
aliases were added for completeness, to clarify the relationship to
the corresponding special method, and I suppose to make it simpler to
dynamically call them. I opted to use the explicit name, even though
it's an alias because it seemed to make the example more consistent.
Normally I would call operator.add.
