`This` syntax is used to make functions work infix, whereas operators already are infix. For this reason, it wouldn't make much sense to use `this` syntax (what's that called anyways?) on an operator.
It would be a no-op in general, so nobody would use it.
`(-)` would in some sense be the same thing as just "-", since () is used to make operators prefix and `` is used to make functions infix.
exactly, just that it would be a _binary_ (-) .
