Julia's set seems excessive but if we restrict it to "\+ like looking symbol 
are treated like +" and likewise for "*" and we watch out that only a couple of 
non-ambiguous symbols are supported then it would work.

That said, math notation has many bad parts (ab is a*b so you can only have 
single letter variables, operators can have obscure precedence) and one 
excellent part: The 2D layout mechanism that helps to spot patterns. The good 
part of math notation is not its many operators that happen to have made it 
into the Unicode standard. And Nim would benefit from more kinds of different 
parenthesis moreso than from more ways to define (binary?) operators.
