#12710: Make some reserved Unicode symbols "specials" -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: JoshPrice247 | Owner: JoshPrice247 Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 (Parser) | Keywords: Unicode, | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple UnicodeSyntax | Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The following comment is in `compiler/parser/Lexer.x`:

ToDo: ideally, → and ∷ should be "specials", so that they cannot form part of a large operator. This would let us have a better syntax for kinds: ɑ∷*→* would be a legal kind signature. (maybe).
