Actually, I think that may be the source of the confusion. I was thinking about it in terms of *labels*, and there's no intrinsic reason that an axis label or other text caption has to have x and y arguments, even if it otherwise might be an operator. A right arrow, as the original querent asked about, could have other uses in a label than connecting two items. It simply didn't occur to me that it could *only* be used that way, though in other contexts that would make perfect sense. It is only possible to use a binary operator through plotmath, even though the result is a label, and not to talk about a binary operator. That's the missing conceptual bit, at least for me.
