How to define a new infix operator?

see in base\operators.jl that the built-in operators are defined concisely like: <(x, y) = isless(x, y) however, seems like I can’t define a custom infix operator like: julia> (α)(x, y) = x + y α (generic function with 1 method) julia> α(1, 2) 3 julia> 1 α 2 ERROR: syntax: extra token "α" after end of expression so, is it possible to have custom infix operators? if yes, what is the syntax of such definitions? thanks.
