+=for apidoc AmnUx|Perl_infix_plugin_t|PL_infix_plugin
+
+B<NOTE:> This API exists entirely for the purpose of making the CPAN module
+C<XS::Parse::Infix> work. It is not expected that additional modules will make
+use of it; rather, that they should use C<XS::Parse::Infix> to provide parsing
+of new infix operators.
+
+Function pointer, pointing at a function used to handle extended infix
+operators. The function should be declared as
+
+ int infix_plugin_function(pTHX_
+ char *opname, STRLEN oplen,
+ struct Perl_custom_infix **infix_ptr)
+
+The function is called from the tokenizer whenever a possible infix operator
+is seen. C<opname> points to the operator name in the parser's input buffer,
+and C<oplen> gives the I<maximum> number of bytes of it that should be
+consumed; it is not null-terminated. The function is expected to examine the
+operator name and possibly other state such as L<%^H|perlvar/%^H>, to
+determine whether it wants to handle the operator name.
+
+As compared to the single stage of C<PL_keyword_plugin>, parsing of additional
+infix operators occurs in three separate stages. This is because of the more
+complex interactions it has with the parser, to ensure that operator
+precedence rules work correctly. These stages are co-ordinated by the use of
+an additional information structure.
+
+If the function wants to handle the infix operator, it must set the variable
+pointed to by C<infix_ptr> to the address of a structure that provides this
+additional information about the subsequent parsing stages. If it does not,
+it should make a call to the next function in the chain.
+
+This structure has the following definition:
+
+ struct Perl_custom_infix {
+ enum Perl_custom_infix_precedence prec;
+ void (*parse)(pTHX_ SV **opdata,
+ struct Perl_custom_infix *);
+ OP *(*build_op)(pTHX_ SV **opdata, OP *lhs, OP *rhs,
+ struct Perl_custom_infix *);
+ };
+
+The function must then return an integer giving the number of bytes consumed
+by the name of this operator. In the case of an operator whose name is
+composed of identifier characters, this must be equal to C<oplen>. In the case
+of an operator named by non-identifier characters, this is permitted to be
+shorter than C<oplen>, and any additional characters after it will not be
+claimed by the infix operator but instead will be consumed by the tokenizer
+and parser as normal.
+
+If the optional C<parse> function is provided, it is called immediately by the
+parser to let the operator's definition consume any additional syntax from the
+source code. This should I<not> be used for normal operand parsing, but it may
+be useful when implementing things like parametric operators or meta-operators
+that consume more syntax themselves. This function may use the variable
+pointed to by C<opdata> to provide an SV containing additional data to be
+passed into the C<build_op> function later on.
+
+The information structure gives the operator precedence level in the C<prec>
+field. This is used to tell the parser how much of the surrounding syntax
+before and after should be considered as operands to the operator.
+
+The tokenizer and parser will then continue to operate as normal until enough
+additional input has been parsed to form both the left- and right-hand side
+operands to the operator, according to the precedence level. At this point the
+C<build_op> function is called, being passed the left- and right-hand operands
+as optree fragments. It is expected to combine them into the resulting optree
+fragment, which it should return.
+
+After the C<build_op> function has returned, if the variable pointed to by
+C<opdata> was set to a non-C<NULL> value, it will then be destroyed by calling
+C<SvREFCNT_dec()>.
+
+For thread safety, modules should not set this variable directly.
+Instead, use the function L</wrap_infix_plugin>.
+
+However, that all said, the introductory note above still applies. This
+variable is provided in core perl only for the benefit of the
+C<XS::Parse::Infix> module. That module acts as a central registry for infix
+operators, automatically handling things like deparse support and
+discovery/reflection, and these abilities only work because it knows all the
+registered operators. Other modules should not use this interpreter variable
+directly to implement them because then those central features would no longer
+work properly.
+
+Furthermore, it is likely that this (experimental) API will be replaced in a
+future Perl version by a more complete API that fully implements the central
+registry and other semantics currently provided by C<XS::Parse::Infix>, once
+the module has had sufficient experimental testing time. This current
+mechanism exists only as an interim measure to get to that stage.
