Well, you did, but maybe not as much as you have thought ;-)

The thing that I had been thinking about before I came up with the library defined literals was using the superscript and subscript numbers (\u2080 etc.) like they are often used in science, but I hadn't found any regular way for Scala to allow their use for libraries. Maybe we all just think too much in programming languages already, so we can't see the simplicity mathematical expressions could offer to a programming language. Maybe we are too much settled on using plain text editors, too.
