Great. I wonder what others think? Personally, I really like the / operator.
Probably that's because I've borrowed the idea from one parser generator
which allows to write:
(literal / "," )
to mean a list of literals separated by ",". The opening and closing braces
look less clear for me now. Maybe, we can use
fmt::pair("{", "}")/" == "
or
fmt::braces("{", "}") + fmt::pair()/" == "
But I'm really really not sure.
