Yeah |- does seem like an interesting one, not sure what it would 
mean though, I get the impression it's a wall or something. Also 
you can basicly combine any binOp and any number of unaryOps to 
create an arbitrary number of custom binOps. ~+*+*+*+ could be 
valid! You could probably make something like brainfuck in D's 
unary operators.
