Subject: [ruby-core:24589] Extending infix operator model

I was curious If Ruby could do something like this one day:

( (a � b) V �(a � c) ) � ((c V d) � �(b) )

The problem as you can tell is that Ruby's operators are limited to a
set of chars like +,*, /, etc....
so basically and after defining the method � , i still can't do:

 a � b

and all i can do is

a.� b

This will be possible if Ruby's infix operator model was extended to
support other set of chars.

I don't know if it's possible to do things like Scala also:

hash1 merge hash2

which is like doing:

hash1.merge hash2

But at least it will be cool to extend the support for operators to do
things like the first example.

Thanks.
