Does anybody else think it would be nice if a library's author had only to decide its operators' precedence relative to each other, and could let users decide for themselves how fast its operators should bind relative to operators from another library?
It is true that fixity is ordinal, not cardinal, but I guess letting the user decide for themselves how to blend operators from different libraries could lead to a fragmentation where I will find difficult to read/interpret your code and viceversa. Can you make an example where the 10 levels of precedence (plus function application) wasn't enough for you/other devs?
