Nice. Although the ~~ seems a bit intrusive. Since its use would be
thouroughly optional, perhaps we could adopt an extended (A0-FF)
character for this? Some candidates:
257 175 AF ¯ MACRON
267 183 B7 · MIDDLE DOT
270 184 B8 ¸ CEDILLA
260 176 B0 ° DEGREE SIGN
Tempting to use B8 Cedilla, since it looks somewhat like a comma, and
is less useful for other purposes -- but perhaps it would be to easily
confused with a real comma?
Ideally, one would also require a group of three digits to the right
of such an operator.
