On a related note, sometimes I wish Lua allowed putting an operator in
place of where a function would be expected.  Something like:
table.sort(some_table, <)

I don't know how that could be made less confusing from the parsers'
perspective, though.  I think you can do this in Haskell with \+ to
refer to the function of the operator itself.
