Hello Karl!

I'm afraid infix operators are almost a kludge in REBOL. Words
such as +, *, AND etc. are probably handled before the actual
execution.
Personally, I would vote for having prefix notation only, and a
dialect that handles precedence etc. for doing math (I posted an
example of this on the list some time ago --- I can repost if
people is interested, or maybe I can add it to the script
library...).
Regards,
Gabriele.
