Overloading operator << - C++

Question

Background

I have a container class which uses vector internally. I have provided a method AddChar(std::string) to this wrap

Answer 1

Is it a good practice to overload operators in situations like this?

I don't think so. It's confusing as hell for someone who doesn't know that you've overloaded the operator. Just stick to descriptive method names and forget about the extra characters you're typing, its just not worth it. Your maintainer (or you yourself in 6 months) will thank you.
