Sub::Infix could overload other operators, in my testing the following work
(and are not unpleasant characters for :

• %infix%

• +infix+

• infix

• infix

Unfortunately -infix-, while it works, does so with warnings (Ambiguous use of
-plus resolved as -&plus() at test.t line 7.) due to the stringification
behaviour of unary '-'. Might be worth adding it with a caveat that () is
required, since an -infix()- operator syntax seems worth the extra ()s.

Also currently possible with Sub::Infix but might be worth explicitly
documenting:

• Adding global operators with control characters, punctuation and numbers
  but which require the & before them when used (<<&1>>, /&*/)

• Putting named operators into namespaces: <String::concat>,
  <Array::push>, |Method::1|
