Perhaps "before" and "after" clearer than "higher" and "lower"?
I would pick "tighter than" and "looser than", but I suppose that "before" and
"after" are also clear enough. Or maybe "inside" and "outside"?
I don't think that we really need a new keyword for precedence declarations. The
current "infix" would suffice if the default was for operators to be non-fix and
of indeterminate precedence. Multiple fixity declarations for the same operator
should then be allowed. Or perhaps just require that separate declarations use
the same "infix[lr]?" keyword.
