Thanks, I did find that reference after posting, but I found the
explanation lame.  They didn't want to introduce a new
operator syntax and didn't want a function with a name
part of the language definition.
How was the max and min functions handled?  With attributes...
I don't see how this case is really any different.
Perhaps they didn't think of it, or at least didn't address
this possibility in the RM.
