Yes, of cause, this symmetry would be nice, I have thought about it.
However, $L is ambiguous syntax, there can be a name that is $L, so
this might even break existing tables. I could do is so that if
there is no name $L defined, then use it. But this is also
confusing, and of cause not stable if someone does define new names.
Maybe we should use something else to achieve symmetry, like @> and $>.
