I was a bit surprised that you could use ＊ as an operator since it is a punctuation character. Maybe there are some corner cases with fullwidth characters or with composition of characters.

Thus speaketh the report (http://haskell.org/onlinereport/lexemes.html): symbol -> ascSymbol | uniSymbol ascSymbol -> ! | # | $ | % | & | * | + | . | / | < | = | > | ? | @ | \ | ^ | | | - | ~ uniSymbol -> any Unicode symbol or punctuation Punctuation characters are legitimate for operators.
