I really like this!
I've already plugged it into my own projects.
Matthew already said this, and I agree: supporting '.' for infixes is great!

One comment: they don't play well with 'o' or ':='.
The problem is that those have infix 3, and < = > ... are infix 4.

Ideally, I think your infixes should be 3.5 ;-)

That way 'Word8.fromInt o Char.ord o s <\ String.sub' works.
Also, 'x := s <\ String.sub' and 'x := s <\String.sub\> i' work.

For myself, I just changed 'o' and ':=' to 1, and your ops to 2&3.
However, that's not going to play well with other code. =(
