Had also been playing with the feature with PyGeo, again
trying to keep to "standard" symbolism, to the extent
it has been developed. So for example:
p1 + p2 might be the line connecting the two points.
Line1^Line2 might be the point of intersection of the
two lines.
But to put my money where my mouth is, it was only
interesting to me to the extent I could tie it to some
recognized geometric notation.
Its out there, but not too developed (or probably more
accurately what had been developed has fallen into
disuse).
A PyGeo specific notation was and is not of much
interest to me, so I pretty much dropped it..
