% This module exports a typeclass `ops.op_table' which is used to define
% operator precedence tables for use by
% mercury_term_parser.read_term_with_op_table and
% term_io.write_term_with_op_table.
%
% It also exports an instance `ops.mercury_op_table' that implements the
% Mercury operator table defined in the Mercury Language Reference Manual.

% An operator table maps strings (the operators themselves) to a value
% of this type.
%
% If the string is an infix operator (term Op term), the info
% about it is stored in the first field.
%
% If the string is a binary prefix operator (Op term term), the info
% about it is stored in the second field.
%
% If the string is a prefix operator (Op term), the info
% about it is stored in the third field.
%
% If the string is a postfix operator (term Op), the info
% about it is stored in the fourth field.
%
% At least one of the fields should contain operator information.
