Personally, I'd just like to be able to get rid of "->", "\" and other such hacks. Would it be possible to amend GHC so that it accepts "->" and [whatever the Unicode codepoint for "left arrow" is] and treats both the same?
Both of those are already there, along with some others. It's been discussed here but I can't find it in the 6.8.2 manual.... (boo, hiss) -XUnicodeSyntax
Mmm, I can see I'm going to have to test this... [That is, just as soon as I figure out how to even type in obscure Unicode symbols...]
Unfortunately, while I thought there was a distinct lambda sign that wasn't the lowercase Greek letter, there isn't. (That said, I don't see why it couldn't be a keyword. You'd need a space after it.) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
