What are the thoughts around here on function names containing arbitrary

Hehe. I think it looks quite nice how it works in Scala, at least in theory.
But on the other hand Scala makes this really usable by having infix
operators and that all operators are just methods. That's how operator
overloading works in Scala.
And as a direct result, it's parsing is so slow that last time I tried
to use the Scala IDE for Eclipse, it would lock on save as it tried to
parse the source.
As I said, "at least in theory".
