Kind of cute, though I wonder if this can be extended
to handle variable arity operators.

This is also cute, though it effectively changes the
surface meaning of "x ...".

These two examples are interesting.  They don't appeal to me
enough to convince me non-macro approach is good, but others
may feel differently.  How about including them in the rationale
