  Parsing distfix operators
Peyton Jones S. Communications of the ACM 29(2): 118-122, 1986.  Type: Article

A distfix operator is a syntactic construct in which an operator symbol is distributed among its operands. Consequently, prefix, infix, and postfix operators are just special cases of distfix. Some functional programming languages, suc...
