## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 + e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 - e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 / e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 %% e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 ^ e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 < e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 > e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 == e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 >= e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'
e1 <= e2

## S3 method for class 'Infix'

Details

The lhs is coerced with as.environment and in that environment the binary operators must be found and named as .<binaryOperator> (see the example for retList). This is implemented for the following operators: +, -, *, /, %%, ^, <, >, ==, >=, <=, &. Also part of the operators you can implement with Infix is !, although it is unary.
