the indentation is already described in the `Lexical Analysis`_ section.
Nim allows user-definable operators.
Binary operators have 10 different levels of precedence.
Binary operators have 11 different levels of precedence.
Relevant character
------------------
An operator symbol's *relevant character* is its first
character unless the first character is ``\`` and its length is greater than 1
then it is the second character.
This rule allows to escape operator symbols with ``\`` and keeps the operator's
precedence and associativity; this is useful for meta programming.
Associativity
-------------
Binary operators whose relevant character is ``^`` are right-associative, all
other binary operators are left-associative.
Binary operators whose first character is ``^`` or its last character
is ``>`` are right-associative, all other binary operators are left-associative.
Exception: The single "greater than" ``>`` operator is left-associative too.
Operators ending in ``>`` but longer than a single character are
called `arrow like`:idx:.
