Description

Currently implemented std operators include:

  • arithmetic operators add, sub, mul, div, (in the making) mod,
  • comparison operators eq, ne, lt, le, gt, ge,
  • logical operators not, and, or.

Out of these, currently only add, sub, mul, div have infix notation (d.vec2f().mul(d.vec2f())).
Which of these would we like to also make infix?

Regardless of the answer, we should probably rewrite the infix operators in some way so that std functions call the infix operators, instead of the infix operators calling the std functions.

Research direction

Start by surveying the existing std operators and their infix notation, including add, sub, mul, div, and the d.vec2f() example. Determine which comparison and logical operators should gain infix forms and clarify whether std functions or infix operators are the primary implementation. Done requires an agreed operator set and implementation direction.
