Yuri,
As Mark said, operators are not pluggable right now. If you think you can
help providing a patch to make them pluggable, I can help you find the way.
Also, on the same topic, version 4.0 has a lot of improvements on type
coercion, so you will probably stop seeing problems like comparing shorts
and integers, as you mentioned.
Regards,
Edson

We've have plans for pluggeable operators, just no time to implement
them, maybe in the next release :)
