Yes, the problem is that if you try to lookup the correct method operator=
=20
(like +=3D -- ++ *=3D and so on) in motox_try_overload_..., and the under=
lying=20
object is not initialized, you get a Null Pointer exception.=20

ex:

${
    use "codex.util";

    // SymbolTable i =3D new SymbolTable();
    SymbolTable i;
    i["dasd"] =3D "pippo";
   =20
}$

Uncaught NullPointerException
   message:A method overloaded operator may not be identified on null

NullPointerException thrown in <main>(motox.c:228)

The same happens if you call a method on a non initialized object...=20
Wouldn't be possible (and maybe cleaner) to warn the user that he's using=
 a=20
non-initialized object?
