Obviously it made it past the SIP4 (but not SIP3) parser.

QwtPlot3D has 4 occurrences of 'virtual TYPE operator(..) = 0;' and 1
occurrence of 'virtual TYPE operator(..);'

It is quite a common C++ idiom for classes that act like a mathematical
function, so I would hate it if you make the parser complain (I do not think
that it is important that SIP recognizes the '= 0').

I think, I can show how to change the generated code so that it works without
my hack of an extra helper class.  I'll try to do that tonight.
