So you're suggesting that
  A op* n

should map to

  [op] A xx n

I don't think that that mapping works for Thomas' proposal of a 
repetition count on post-increment operator. I.e.

  $a ++* 3

is not the same as

  [++] $a xx 3

(which I think is a syntax error)

and also not the same as

  $a++ * 3

Also, he's suggesting getting rid of the "xx" operator, and replacing it 
with ",*" -- I'm sure I could get used to that
