Could someone put together a list of the operators in base and
their precedence. Does making <> have precedence 6 change anything? It has
right associativity because it's the right thing for "stream like" uses of
<> (lists, builders, CPS).

Aside: I don't think we should try to avoid collisions with downstream
symbols when growing the base libraries. It's just not a scalable approach
engineering wise. We should use namespaces to distinguish symbols from
different packages.
