I would intuitively expect `+` to be the convolution if we're working with the random variables; it feels a bit weird to have one symbol here and another for `AffineDistribution`....
To keep this issue from tearing our community apart, I propose a compromise: [circled ast](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+229B) :p (Could actually work, though? It's an asterisk, but the circle visually distinguishes it. Or...
Actually, it looks like there's already an alternate notation for convolution -- since it can be thought of as a tensor product: 
I'd love to see these added! Feel free to make a PR so we can evaluate and merge it.
I will add a slight comment (which you can feel free to ignore) -- I personally had exactly this problem when working with Distributions.jl a couple months ago as a...
