===================================
        Objective Caml version 3.06

# let (--) = (+) ;;
val ( -- ) : int -> int -> int = <fun>
# let (%%) = (+) ;;
val ( %% ) : int -> int -> int = <fun>
# let (##) = (+) ;;
Syntax error
#

====================================

We must find a sequence that can't be used as a binary operator.

P.S.
	I have nothing against '--', '%%' or whatever. I just want to see easily 
typed single-line comment in Ocaml.
