You are quite right. I'd forgotten about local rebinding,
because I feel that all local rebinding should be disallowed.
Anyone want to start a movement to eliminate local
rebinding? (1/2 :-) Cheers, -- P

It's true that things from PreludeCore cannot be rebound on the top level,
but they can be rebound locally. So the problem I state does occur.
OK, I think that (>=), (-), etc. should refer to those from PreludeCore,
but it doesn't say anywhere.
Another question along the same lines: What if (+) has been rebound?
Are n+k patterns still allowed?
