- Hmmmm? I knew that Ada, C++, and others had the ability to coin new
- meanings for *existing* operators, but (other than functional notation)
- I thought they could not introduce completely *new* operators. That is,
- the parse and expression syntax is constant.
- Was I wrong?
-
- ( As I said, it seems to depend to a certain extent what one allows
- as an "operator" (and the meaning of "new" also... ) )
