Is it possible to overload the operators "as" or "is"?

Question

Is this allowed? If not, can this be done inherently by overloading the implicit / explicit conversion operators?

Answer 1

Is the "is" and "how" operator overloaded?

No.

If not, can this be done due to overloading of implicit / explicit conversion operators?

No. The "how" and "is" operators tell you what it really is. They do not pay attention to user conversions.

Answer 2

No. Check this out: Overloaded Operators and All C # Operators

Answer 3

No, because they are not operators as such, they are keywords of the language.

Also, I'm not sure if you would overload them and retain the semantics of the language specification? It seems that it can only be used for great evil :)
