I don't think there's any reason ~ couldn't be an operator, defined with
the
    (~) x y = ...
syntax.

Allowing it to be defined with infix syntax would be a little trickier.


Hmm, I've just realised that if we decide to make !_ and !foo lexemes,
then we'd also want !(+) to be a lexeme, which presumably means we'd
want (+) to be a single lexeme too (and also `foo`, for consistency).
But I don't think making that change would be problematic.


Thanks
