Actually makes me think of decorators, which means that you wouldn't even
need new tokens or keywords:

    from functools import make_operator

    bop = make_operator(b)

    s = 'a' bop 'b'

    class Ops:
        @make_operator
        def cat(left, right):
            return left + right

    t = 'a' Ops.cat 'b'

It reduces the grit, but also reduces certain kinds of obviousness.
