I like this syntax because it's the best one proposed so far. As soon
as someone comes up with something better, this syntax would fall into
my mental gutter of "good, but not good enough" ideas.
I'd like -> and <- even more, if they were both available.
But we still need to hear from our Language Designer as to what he
thinks. He may decide that the whole concept isn't worth the hassle or
can be accomplished another way and then we don't have to worry about
syntax any more.
