DIVISION	/
INDIRECTION	*

The problem is that /* is a legal sequence of operators.  Consider

	int r, i, *ip; r = i/*p;

As usual, if there is some kind of ambiguity, pick a disambiguator.

(This is not intended to imply that I think `<-' is a good assignment
operator.  On the other hand, the preceding sentence is not intended
to imply that I think `<-' is a bad assignment operator.)
