Perhaps the best thing to do is to define a word operator for superpositions and, if they later become really popular, snag some generally-available* extended character to represent the operators.On Tue, Oct 29, 2002 at 10:13:39AM +0200, Markus Laire wrote:Also the idea of allways using 'function' style for something so basic like superpositions doesn't appeal to me.Superpositions are "basic" in a fabric-of-the-universe kind of way, but they are hardly basic in the everyone-learns-them-in-grade-school kind of way. I think the latter is more important for huffman coding of operators for the unwashed masses. But I'm willing change my mind if we start teaching everyone superpositions in grade school :-)
