Hi Paolo, There are some limitations when we use antlr to define grammar, so the backticks are used to distinguish with other operators.
I saw an answer from Jochen(shown as follow), so I tryied to add this experimental feature "We always wanted the ability to define an operator through the user in Groovy, but so far we haven't gotten around the problems that come along with that." http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6485861/is-it-possible-to-define-a-new-operator-in-groovy/10848093#10848093 BTW, this is a experimental feature and some traps may exist as Cédric said, so I'm not sure it will be added to Groovy 3 ;-) Cheers, Daniel.Sun -- View this message in context: http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Custom-operator-for-Groovy-3-tp5736388p5736396.html Sent from the Groovy Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
