damian's syntax table and his use of the term vectorizing made me wonder
why we call his [op] thing a hyperoperator? the word hyper i assume came
from hyperdimensional. but calling [] the vectorizing (or just vectored)
op variant makes much more sense.
@sum = @a [+] @b ;
that reads as vector add @a and @b
@sum [+]= @c ;
vector add @c into @sum.
@sum [+]= $c ;
vector add assign $d to all of @sum.
vector just has more history with this sort of operation. also damian's
choice of [] makes it look like a vector thingy.
so i will table a motion to rename hyper to vector and hope it doesn't
get warnocked.
