[cfe-dev] BinaryOperator vs. CXXOperatorCallExpr in template code

[Stephan Bergmann via cfe-dev]

I now see that I had accidentally sent the below to llvm-dev rather than 
cfe-dev.  (Also, see the comments at 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D103949#2808256> "Only consider built-in 
compound assignment operators for -Wunused-but-set-*" for the place 
where this questions came up.)
