The language currently uses |=| as a table definition operator; however, this can be awkward to type.
Instead, the operator |> should be considered.

Further improvements on the operator or syntax may be considered.

Additionally, the term table should be considered as an equivalent keyword.

Old usage:

|=|Class {
  | Member |
  | Data |
}

Possible new usage:

|> Class {
  | Member |
  | Data |
}

table Class {
  | Member |
  | Data |
}
