Seems like this would lead to confusing operator precedence rules as well.
For example:
1<<foo>{}
... is perfectly valid JavaScript today (syntactically, anyway...), and is
equivalent to:
(1 << foo) > {}
... but I would assume that with the new syntax in place it would really be
interpreted as:
1 < function(foo) {}
... which is also valid JavaScript. Not that either of those examples
should ever occur in the real world, but in general I think they indicate
that `<` and `>` might be better left alone.
