Here's an idea that (I think) is useful and backwards compatible: fractional and negative fixity.
yes, i think the same. for example, once i've tried to define postfix 'when' operator like those in perl/ruby print msg `on` mode==debug but failed because my code frequently contains '$' and there is no way to define operation with a lower precedence really, there is another alternative to solve my particular problem: make `op` applications having fixed -1 precedence. such applications look "heavyweight" and once i have a wonderful debugging story just because for my eyes it was obvious that (a `div` b+1) means "do add before div" -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
