If you polish it up into a patch, I'll review it (so hopefully it gets into 4.0.2)! Hmmm...or maybe I shouldn't review it, being one of the authors... > use as detailed above, or could some custom infix operators > potentially become standard like the backslash, which only works for > things with the _backslash_ defined (presumably only matrix/vector > combos)? Only time will tell. I think it's safe to say it would be available for private use. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that we have the backslash operator. It's a bow to matlab (I assume), but there are lots and lots of other matlab operators we don't have. Sage has (rightfully) been very conservative about language additions. However, I can see a sage.misc.infix module (or even specific modules, like sage.graphs.infix) containing a bunch of nice infix operators, not defined by default, but that someone could then import. That would help standardize some things if people used them a lot.
