item, or

   int[] && int[]  - overlap - returns TRUE if arrays has at least one common 
elements.

   int[] + int     - push element to array ( add to end of array)
   int[] + int[]   - merge of arrays (right array added to the end of left one)
   int[] - int     - remove entries matched by right argument from array
-  int[] - int[]   - remove left array from right
+  int[] - int[]   - remove right array from left
   int[] | int     - returns intarray - union of arguments
   int[] | int[]   - returns intarray as a union of two arrays
