Yes. The idea being that 60 is the usual precedence for binary
operators, with a few exceptions. But if you think this could
be a problem, let me know.

I use it all the time in cases like:
The transitivity of the address@hidden { non <= }' relation...
Without "non" you have to rack your brains for the name of the
<= character. We might as well stick with the @Eq name now.

In @Eq it was applied to parameterless objects. In @Math the
equivalent definitions have left and right parameters.

Agreed, but you often see it, and it does look good in some cases.
