Right. This is why I usually use (in French) something along the lines
of:
def "<<"
precedence 10
right word
{ { @Char guillemotleft }" "{ word } }
def ">>"
precedence 10
left word
{ { word }" "{ @Char guillemotright } }
Plus similar things for parentheses, colon, question marks, etc. But
these are more intrusive and may yield various problems.
For example, when one uses parentheses within an address@hidden' `xticks' or
equivalent, one doesn't want the modified definitions of `(' and `)' to
be taken into account because that would just break address@hidden'. I haven't
found any way to solve this.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
