This was the concern I had, also. There aren't a whole lot of other choices at
this point, though - we're already using '->' one of the relationships, both
'=>' and '<=' already have meanings, and the only other horizontal arrow-like
character is '_', which isn't so awesome: _> and <_.
I thought about }> and <{, but those look a lot like the spaceship syntax for
querying, so I don't think they make sense.
So while I agree with you, until we have a better option I vote we keep this
one.
