Hmm, that's an idea. I think it would be reasonable to rewrite the
typeconv.sgml one, but the one in drop_operator.sgml seems like it
could just be dropped. Its only purpose seems to be to demonstrate how
to drop a right-unary operator vs. a left-unary operator, but I
venture to guess that anyone smart enough to make any sort of
effective use of DROP OPERATOR could probably draw the necessary
inferences anyway.
