For use as a DSL (Domain-Specific Languages), it is sometimes more convenient to augment Rhai with
customized operators performing specific logic.

Using `Engine::register_custom_operator` merely enables a convenient shortcut.
Must Follow Variable Naming

Must be a Valid Identifier or Reserved Symbol

All custom operators must be _identifiers_ that follow the same naming rules as [variables].
Alternatively, they can also be [reserved symbols]({{rootUrl}}/appendix/operators.md#symbols),
[disabled operators or keywords][disable keywords and operators].
```rust
engine.register_custom_operator("foo", 20); // 'foo' is a valid custom operator
engine.register_custom_operator("=>", 30); // <- error: '=>' is not a valid custom operator

A [module] can be created from a single script (or pre-compiled [`AST`]) containing global variables,
functions and sub-modules via the `Module::eval_ast_as_new` method.
See the section on [_Exporting Variables, Functions and Sub-Modules_][`export`] for details on how to prepare
a Rhai script for this purpose as well as to control which functions/variables to export.

When given an [`AST`], it is first evaluated, then the following items are exposed as members of the new module:
When given an [`AST`], it is first evaluated, then the following items are exposed as members of the
new [module]:
* Global variables - all variables exported via the `export` statement (those not exported remain hidden).
* Functions not specifically marked `private`.
* Global modules that remain in the [`Scope`] at the end of a script run.
* Global modules that remain in the [`Scope`] at the end of a script run (become sub-modules).
`Module::eval_ast_as_new` encapsulates the entire `AST` into each function call, merging the module namespace
with the global namespace. Therefore, functions defined within the same module script can cross-call each other.
