Aside from the alternatives already discussed, the only other idea
that's come to my mind is to write operator entries in a style like

    || as in: text || text → text
        Concatenates the two strings.
        'Post' || 'greSQL' → PostgreSQL

Not sure that that's any better, but it is another alternative.
