Have you looked at the "dot" flags? Right now, you can only have one
operator in the system which obeys these flags, but it would be relatively
easy to make this more general, by converting them from flags into
properties of the operator. It would take some work, but it is much more
doable than making the core system rule-oriented, and doesn't affect the
efficiency of the core.
