If the right operand's type is a subclass of the left operand's type and that
subclass provides the reflected method for the operation, this method will be
called before the left operand's non-reflected method. This behavior allows
subclasses to override their ancestors' operations.
If the right operand's type is a subclass of the left operand's type and
