I see your point, and it makes sense, but how will precedence work? What
would this do:

        $i now foo but bar and 2;

or this:

        $i but foo now bar and 2;

What if I want to define a synonym for and?

    sub operator:also ($a,$b) is inline { $a and $b }
    print $_ also die;

Scratching my head here in userville....
