To clarify, the rule you're thinking is:
"When processing indentation, beginning at the left-hand-side, a period is
equivalent to a space character until the first character that is not a period,
blank, or tab."
I think that's a good (experimental) rule.

This one is cool. I hadn't thought to *define* infix operators using infix
notation. Perhaps that's because I'm too used to traditional Lisp notation, or
perhaps it's because few languages let you *define* infix operators using infix
notation (even ones that do don't use infix in definitions).
I really like this ability to define infix operators in infix notation, it
looks really clean.
