Personally I think the meaning of + and * should be context dependent.

Though the main reason for infix notation is to signal associativity. Which a lot of these don't satisfy.

A lot of these are just trying to mimic natural language, which can be useful but as lisp demonstrates is not that important if the grammar is clear enough.

People disagree about that characterization of Lisp.
