It's not, the issue's really with what's better for the common case,
which probably won't be PDL stuff. (Unfortunately--I think it's a
nifty realm to work in)
However...
If operator overloading on particular classes doesn't work for you,
and you don't want to just redefine the behaviour of an operator for
a particular block, there's always the APL route. You've got all of
Unicode handy--there's no reason we can't have a pragma that enables
alternate characters for the hyperoperators.
