Um, only if there's a benefit -- otherwise we'll standardise on semicolons 
to divide statements and curly braces to delimit blocks. I find A %*% B 
very hard to read, and I don't like so much use of arcane symbols.

The only tidy way of handling infix operators in Python than I can see is 
to make operators first class objects.
