If so, this is a bug -- it should be fine to define the operator syntax
before or after defining its functional value (or not defining it at all).
But anyway, I haven't been able to reproduce this problem in 5.11 (sorry, I
need to update...)
"##"(a,b) := a^2/b$
"##"(4,5) => 16/5
infix("##")$
4##5 => 16/5
a##b := a-b$ redefine functional value
3##2 => 1
