Divide becomes element wise divide, multiplication becomes the dot product and % becomes the cross product. There are no more operators with the correct precedence to overload. I suggest making another symbol, with multiplication precedence, available for overloading.

It should be noted that shader languages that have built-in
vector/matrix functionality do not attempt to create new operators for
these. With the exception of explicit matrix multiplication, all
operators are element-wise. All other operations are performed by
function calls.

Many popular C++ matrix libraries (I checked Eigen and GLM) follow
this convention as well. So I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add
operators for something we have so much precedent in today.
