Operators are great. They’re popular in maths because they avoid
parenthesis clutter, leaving the structure of the expression clearer.

Fun fact: Python’s operator precedence rules differ from C’s ones in one

While Python and C++ let you define new overloads for standard operators,
very few languages allow you to define entirely new operators. Algol 68
did (from a limited character set). You can kind of simulate it in Python,
too.

its not much about allowing to define operators - but about the fact C lacks some
soem lack is scandalous : min max abs sign and some other (like clamp (?) et.., maybe swap) also i think it would be good to have stronger priority adds and subs
to be able to writa 2+2/4 instead of (2+2)/4
it could be like + - but placed a bit higher (unicode dont have it i guess)
also assign in right could be handy etc...many should be defined
