 augment definitions of symbolic operators with `@targetName` annotations. Finally,
 a syntax change allows infix operators to be written on the left in a multi-line expression.

 An alphanumeric operator is an operator consisting entirely of letters, digits, the `$` and `_` characters, or
 any unicode character `c` for which `java.lang.Character.isIdentifierPart(c)` returns `true`.

 ### Motivation
 
-The purpose of the `@infix` annotation is to achieve consistency across a code base in how a method or type is applied. The idea is that the author of a method decides whether that method should be applied as an infix operator or in a regular application. Use sites then implement that decision consistently.

 ### Details
 
- 1. `@infix` is defined in package `scala.annotation`.
+ 1. `infix` is a soft modifier. It is treated as a normal identifier except when in modifier position.
 
- 2. If a method overrides another, their infix annotations must agree. Either both are annotated with `@infix`, or none of them are.
