Description
R has a number of binomial operators with the pattern %X% that might be good candidates for ligatures.
%>%, pipe operator, passes result to next function
%in%, matching logical operator, e.g., x %in% table means "does x exist in table?"
x %% y, modulus
x %/% y, integer division
x %*% y, matrix multiplication
x %o% y, outer product
x %x% y, kronecker product
Not sure the best visual approach for these. Probably best that the % symbols remain present in some form, but are visually less emphasized than the center characters.
