Some questions were raised. Let me start withbynoticing that all I am interested in is a very small extensions, without creating more problems than solving, so I could perfectly live with: - no `...` inside `...`. If you really need this you use parentheses - the first element between the `...` should be an identifier, and the operator takes the properties of this identifier. With respect to the last remark: this makes it clear that I am really passing arguments to the identifier, which would otherwise stand alone between the `...`'s. Everything else remains the same, Doaitse On 2006 mrt 09, at 8:59, Bulat Ziganshin wrote:

Possibly `(<expr>)` ?
it will be non-readable. it is better to just prohibit using of backquotes inside backquotes. and fixity can be fixed at 0, imho.
at least, my cases was just when i want to use two words inside backquotes instead of just one. and fixity should be 0 because such expression with space inside it should have a small priority because parts of expression "too distant" from each other
(btw, i had (not serious) proposal to raise priority of operations if there is no spaces around it, so that the following:
x:xs ++ y:ys
translates to
(x:xs)++(y:ys)
in full accordance with natural reading)
