Ouch. How would a human parse [apple'*'pear]
In this context, `parse error, tricky syntax'.
I kinda have that problem anyway given ' being permitted in
identifiers at all. Given that I expect it now, the above isn't a
whole lot worse (I've already parsed (token "apple'") when I hit the
(token "*'"), the only question is whether the extension in use
attaches the ' to the operator or to the following identifier.
(Although I would assume the latter if I ran into it without prior
knowledge, based on ' normally being a word-identifier character when
it can't be a Char literal.)
