Hi Sean,

We’ve briefly considered this in the past.  However, this doesn’t align well with the design of swift, which partitions infix and prefix operators into their own namespace (composed of operator characters) and normal identifiers (composed of “identifier characters”).  You can see the grammar for this in the Swift Programming Language Reference.
