Custom operator

[mathias.foehr at mails.lu]

I want to define new operators because mathematicians use special operators (
         eg circle plus (+), circle times (*), arrows ->
) since centuries. It increases readability in this area and people have 
got used to it.

By the way, are there hooks in python to preprocess a statement before the 
python compiler
takes care of it?
