One difficulty in that transformation for clojure might be that "{"
already has significance to the clojure reader, denoting the beginning
of a map literal.
If { in that notation is exclusively used for infix binary operations,
you could get around it, because in that context the {...} expression
would always have exactly three elements, which isn't legal for a map.
But it would increase potential confusion:
{1 <} is a map from the integer 1 to the function <
{1 < 2} is the application of < to the arguments 1 and 2
