I do like this too, because it reminds me of C trigraphs, which had precisely the same purpose - allow people with old-fashioned sub-standard character sets to come and play with the big boys. And eventually, the old trigraphs died out because everyone caught up with the decent (for the era) character sets. That's assuming we have to have Unicode operators. I would, however, like to hear a passionate argument in favour of this, because we've seen plenty of arguments against (encoding, transmission, keyboarding, etc.) but not all that many in favour, so a nice definitive one would be helpful. -- <evilPetey> I often think I'd get better throughput yelling at the modem.
