The goal is to be able to use any function as an infix, like so:

x |mod 2

(most languages spell it out as x | mod 2, but I think for us stylistically it's nicer to keep the | associated with the function name.)

x |mod 2 is equivalent to mod x 2. In the future we can think about extending this with a magic _ syntax, such that you can write x |mod 2 _ and get mod 2 x.
