Allow operator methods to be memoized

Memoizing operators will raise a syntax error due to the operator symbols
being injected into the eval'd code. We can allow operator memoization by
using some mangled names instead. To (hopefully) avoid clashing with any
existing method names, we've added some underscores to the names and
upper-cased them.
