Package implementing additional infix operators for R.
Implemented operators work with 4 different value types: sets, intervals, regular expressions, and counts.
And provide 3 distinct functionalities: detection, subsetting, and replacement.
For more examples please see the vignette.
For a complete list of available operators consult the tables below.
All operators have the same form composed of two distinct parts: %<operation><type>%.
[operation] specifies the performed functionality and can be one of in, out, [in, [out.[type] specifies the type of operation and can be one of {}, [], (), [), (], ~, ~p, ~f, #.| Form | Description | Call |

To give an assignment counterpart to < we had to overload the <<- operator, which explains the message when attaching the package. This doesn’t affect the behavior of the <<- assignments.
Detection operators should be seen as an extension of the standard infix operators implemented in R (i.e. ==, >, etc). For this reason the implemented operators differ from standard %in% and behave more like == on data.frames and objects with NA values.
Subsetting and replacement operators are wrappers around detection operators.
Subsetting: x[ x %in{}% set].
Replacement: replace(x, x %in{}% set, value).
