Those of us with gray beards and long if flaky memories may remember
"Algol '8x" (I don't recall the x).  An over-ambitious work by theorists
that was still around when Ada was being designed.  Had a lot of
symbology about user defined operators.  I could never read any of it. 
'C' is hard enough to read.
