️🛠 - Add operator overloading for declarative syntax #19

Description

It would be really cool to write DSP chaining code like the following:

Oscillator osc1;
Oscillator osc2;
Filter filter;
LFO lfo;

int main(void) {
    float sample = (osc1 * lfo) + osc2 >> filter;
    buffer.writeSample(sample);
}

As an explanation of the syntax:

  • osc1 * lfo - module an oscillator by "multiplying" an LFO
  • (...) + osc2 - sum the signals from the two oscillators together
  • (...) >> filter - pipe the summation output into the filter's input

This may not be worth it; might be somewhat of a dead-end but if the syntax works and is practical in the environments I'm targeting then I don't see why it couldn't be added, especially if the more verbose way is still kept.
