user-defined operators

[Robert Virding]

Now that the argument seems to have died down, although it has only gone a
month, I can come along with my opinion. I think we should add user-defined
operators of the type:

Arg1 `op` Arg2  --> op(Arg1, Arg2)
`op` Arg  -->  op(Arg)

This is what have understood the basic suggestion  to be, if I am wrong then
tell me gently. It is really just syntactic sugar so I don't really see what
the problem is. At the moment I don't realy see the need for it, but who
knows after a year. I think the only interesting question is when the
transformation should be made, immediately so you don't see the original
operator version or later. But this is just details.

!! I don't like because it is too much a special case of something general.
