Still looks kind of bulky to me, because @ is the height and width of a capital letter. How about prefixing * with an innocuous backtick?
S = (H `* beta - r).T `* inv(H `* V `* H.T) `* (H `* beta - r)
That way no part of the operator extends to the baseline, so identifiers and parentheses/brackets are visually well-separated from this as they are with most other binary operators.
Fails the grit-on-Tim's-monitor test, or at least the grit-on-Robert's-monitor test.
Not only grit, but the problem with the backtick is that it can look very close to a straight apostrophe. I am personally not fond of @, but I find it ok in that it is distinctive enough without being terribly ugly. Regards Antoine.
