I finally got a first look at the 'Virtual Values for Language
Extension' paper referred to in the value proxies strawman [1],
and suddenly find value proxies more interesting.
Somehow the term proxy never suggested to me that this
would allow for user-defined infix operators - perhaps a wiki
page named 'infix operators', listing relevant pages (value
proxies, modulo operator, operators/generic functions, ..)
might help. Generally, finding relevant information on the
wiki isn't straightforward for newcomers.
On to questions:
1. Are fundamental traps for binary operators in value proxies
the only current candidate for user-defined infix operators?
(currently, even this candidate isn't part of Harmony)
2. Do they make any provisions for specifying operator
precedence/associativity?
It seems that the wiki page about value proxies is mostly
concerned with defining traps, less with other issues of use
(such as parsing: operator precedence, associativity).
