Which makes me wonder: is there another core-only set of operators that
renders as ???, or can we safely assume that ??? is >>Y<< (I still don't
see why infix:Y would be wrong, and want it badly, because prefix zip()
doesn't quite feel the same)?

Let's see...

?foo bar baz?    # qw
%foo?bar?        # qw
@foo ?+? @bar    # hyper
@foo ? @bar      # zip

I guess it's not as bad as I initially thought. Even when rendered
badly, I think in most cases it will still be recognisable.

(Hm, can the real ? be made intelligent enough to dwim? Then I can even
*copy and paste* the new operators in this terminal and have it dwym.)
