I want to design a DSL in Haskell for propositional calculus. But instead of using natural language names for functions like or, and, implies etc. I want to use Unicode symbols as infix functions ¬, ˅, ˄, →, ↔ But I keep getting error messages from the GHC parser. Is there a way to make GHC parse my source files correctly? If it is not possible yet, please consider this as a “feature request”.
GHC supports unicode source files encoded using UTF-8 by default. It should be possible to use many unicode symbols for infix symbols. Note that when -XUnicodeSyntax is on, certain symbols have special meanings (e.g. → means ->). Without more information I can't tell exactly what problem you're encountering. If you supply the source code you're trying to compile, we might be able to help. Also, note that glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org is a better forum for GHC-specific issues. Cheers, Simon
