> for certain operators

AFAIK it works for any operator that takes two operands (or more, but it makes less sense to be using it with three or more operands.)

e.g:

    > '(arg0 . operator . arg1 arg2)
    '(operator arg0 arg1 arg2)

Ah, interesting—thanks for pointing that out. That is practically the same thing. I only wonder if the fact that it's two dots tends to discourage it from general use for things like arithmetic, compared to a single character.
