I don't know ... since we're still using ::T for classy things, I'd
kind of like to see something with a : in it. I also get the feeling
that these are type/class placeholders, so I wouldn't mind a ^ either.
Here are some suggestions:
:$T
:^T
^^T
:&T
$::T
$:T
[T] # these next 3 don't evoke "variable" as much as
<T> # parametric type (ala C++)
(T)
And yes, I know several of those are already "taken". I'm suggesting
that we at least think about reassigning them.
