|Operator overloading in Ruby is very powerful, but it would be even more useful if custom operators could be defined with supported characters. That way, methods such as  ***()  could be defined.

I am not positive on that.

Allowing that prevent use of normal compiler-compiler tool like yacc.
Along with precedence issues, that makes both language and
implementation more complex.

For that matter, superator library may help you.
