I would like to be able to create a domain in which I redefine addition
and multiplication. I was able to do so in version 3.1, but I'm having
difficulty in version 3.2. These are defined as functios, as shown
below.

...example deleted...

But I can't access these functions. The obvious guess is:

gap> ops.=;
Syntax error: record component name expected

What used to work is:

gap> ops.'=';
Syntax error: record component name expected

Another possible guess is:

gap> ops."=";
Syntax error: record component name expected

The single quotes are now used to specify character constants, i.e.,
'=' is the equal character. There are two possibilities.

gap> ops.\=;
function ( left, right ) ... end
gap> ops.("=");
function ( left, right ) ... end

The first is preferrable, because in the second one the string value is
looked up at runtime.
