This shouldn't be a problem. The whitespace rule changes I
believe should be avoided (Abigail does have a point there) is if
whitespace between composite constructs were to be disallowed. I
don't see required whitespace being a problem outside golf/obfu.

That said, I'm not sure how keen I am on the idea of "one-sided"
vector operators. It seems to me that this is too big a
semantic choice to make merely by omission of a single (and quite
dainty) character. I'd rather express this by forcing a context
on the operand. The precedent so far also seems to be a
rule-of-thumb that "I have to write more when I want to be
explicit".
