Subject: Valid name for a method

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a new method to a class but I want to name it like `<<<' or 
`++', etc but it seems that these characters are not allowed

irb(main):001:0> class A
irb(main):002:1> def <<< arg
irb(main):003:2> end
irb(main):004:1> end
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):2: syntax error, unexpected '<', expecting '\n' or ';'
def <<< arg
       ^
(irb):4: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting $end
        from (irb):4
        from :0

Is there a workaround to have a `<<<' method so I can use it like a <<< b or 
even a.<<< b?
