 *
 * The general-purpose operators are:
 *
 * additive class:  		+, -, ++, --, +=, -=
 * multiplicative class: 	*, /, %, *=, /=, %=
 * string class: 		##, #=
 * and-class:			&, &&, &=
 * or-class:			|, ||, |=
 * xor-class:			^, ^^, ^=
 * equality-class:		==, !=
 * relative-class:		<, <=, >, >=
 * negation-class:		~ (1s comp), ! (2s comp)
 * selector-class:		?: (tertiary operator)
 * list-class:			, (comma)
 *
 * Backslash quotes any character not within [] or (),
