It is possible to create almost any notation you would like to
use. Details can be found in various tutorials shown at the
bottom of the page that comes up when searching on
Notation/guide/NotationPackage
in the Documentation Center
But, while this is possible, this is not something I would
recommend. I don't see enough benefit to compensate for the
effort needed to make this work.
