Hi, the user manual says this (VARIABLES section):
"Operators like + are also valid identifiers, but are parsed specially. In some contexts, operators can be used just like variables; for example (+) refers to the addition function, and (+) = f will reassign it." This looks like Haskell's bridge between the infix and prefix syntax. However, it seems that contrary to what the manual says, you don't need the parenthesis, i.e. I can do just x = f. So is there a real reason for using (+) ? Also another question: is it possible, as in Haskell, to define new infix operators, or are you restricted[1] to the built-in ones ? Thanks. Footnotes: [1] by "restricted" here, I don't mean to say that there are too few of them; I'm aware the unicode ones are available. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.
