Uh... That's what Lisp *can* do, if *you* choose to write a reader macro
function that implements an infix parser and bind it to a dispatch character
(in this case, "I", which is undefined by default in standard CL) for the
non-terminating dispatching macro character "#" in *your* application program.
But it's not built into Lisp. Lisp's native syntax (in the absence of macro
characters) is prefix:

	(+ 2 (* foo pi))
