Indeed but what's wrong in writing x + y (with additional spaces) ? Having the possiblity to write for instance +blah instead of inventing things such as $>* is neat in my opinion (in code or for typesetting)...
I believe it was Bulat Ziganshin who once proposed parsing x + y*z + t as x + (y * z) + t and x + y * z + t as (x + y) * (z + t)
