Excessive terseness is bad for readability but so is excessive
verbosity. There is a sweet spot somewhere between the extremes; finding
it is tricky because, I believe, it's different for different people.
Also an expert in a language will have a different outlook than a novice.
Scala allows you to create new operators (in effect). That's one of
those features that can be very nice when used with wisdom but
absolutely terrible when used carelessly. Alas, for each wise usage of
that feature I think there are probably 10 careless usages.
