Infix? What would that do?
In C and C++ they are either prefix or postfix, and I guess both could
be implemented as functions in Fortran, except they couldn't be used
as statements alone.

I think he was talking about the syntactic issue:

I = J +++ K

Is this

I = J + (++K)

or is it

I = (J++) + K

or what?

Remember that Fortran has a source form in which spaces
are not significant.
