its not much about allowing to define operators - but about the fact C 
lacks some

soem lack is scandalous : min max abs sign and some other (like clamp 
(?) et.., maybe swap) also i think it would be good to have stronger 
priority adds and subs

to be able to writa 2+2/4 instead of (2+2)/4
it could be like + - but placed a bit higher (unicode dont have it i guess)

also assign in right could be handy etc...many should be defined
