Hmm... maybe "Chaining infix" should become "Comparison"?
I second that notion,
... assuming that the category would not later be expanded with other operators
that don't fit the Comparison description.
And please don't even consider instead using the term "Relational" in reference
to these operators, that some people do. The "Comparison" term is more
descriptive, and it doesn't conflict with other meanings of "relational" that
relational databases deal with.
