I don't know, I think this will confuse things, especially for newbies,
people tend to say things like:
a + b = foo
as "a plus b is foo", and so would probably naturally write it in infix
form, it would be a source of confusion if the compiler didn't accept
it.
I don't think saying ~ and ! are operators unless they
1. immediately followed by a '(', a letter, or an underscore
2. are preceded by whitespace or BOL
is that onerous.
