We are working on the documentation. In the mean time, you can look at
the TCS Zoo for examples (e.g., the LOTOS language uses advanced
operator features).

Yes, it is planned.
We are going to release a new version of the TCS constraints checker
that checks for more problems. Additionally, we can also accept bugzilla
entries for test cases presenting problems that should be detected.

Operator support in TCS basically corresponds to the need for left
recursion. In the case that you describe, you would not have
left-recursion in one of the case, would you?
When there is no left-recursion problem, you should not need to add the
operator to the table. That being said, we are of course interested by a
counterexample.

You are correct.
