Me too. :-)

The problem with this is that it is impossible to express precedences in 
a modular way - you cannot define them independent from other operators. 
For example, if you want to provide several libraries that are 
independent but whose infix operators should be combinable in a 
convenient way, then you probably cannot.

Or rather 0.
