Remove "schizophrenia" slang for Function-operator overloading

It's in poor taste to refer to function-operator overloading as "schizophrenia," especially because the linked article is for dissociative identity disorder, which is superficially related to schizophrenia. From a clinical perspective, schizophrenia is a very diverse condition that can manifest extremely differently on an individual basis. To perpetuate a misunderstanding of both schizophrenia and DID is tawdry and doesn't reflect well on the APL community.

If it must remain, there ought to be a reference to a prominent usage of the term. Even then, I still don't believe making this informal usage official by putting on the wiki article for function-operator overloading is at all appropriate; the term "function-operator overloading" is more than sufficient at describing the behavior.
