Well, perhaps, but I expect people to understand that "multiply" or
"times" in an English sentence means the "*" operator of whatever type
we're talking about.  Likewise, "modulo" refers to the "mod" operator.

You wouldn't say ``This is "*"'d by that.''  You would say ``This is
multiplied by that.''

Anyway, you *might* convince me that I should have written it more
clearly.  But I doubt that you could convince the ARG that it is
important enough to change in the next revision of the RM.  Especially
when the AARM annotations make it 100% clear what the author meant.
