 _T_ (which must be one of `xfx`, `xfy`,`yfx`,
`xf`, `yf`, `fx` or `fy`) and precedence  _P_
(see appendix iv for a list of predefined operators).

Note that if there is a preexisting operator with the same name and
type, this operator will be discarded. Also, `,` may not be defined
as an operator, and it is not allowed to have the same for an infix and
a postfix operator.
