≥ instead of >= might be an improvement because that's a
symbol learned in school, but ultimately the student still needs to
learn what `>=` means as it will be used most of the time.
But in my school I learned ⩾, not ≥. It was used in USSR and I believe
in other European countries (maybe it is French or Germany tradition?).
⩾ is also what I learned here in the UK. ≥ _is_ clearer on-screen, though.
If Python will become accepting ≥ as an alias of >=, I insist that it
should accept also ⩾. And ⊃, because it is the symbol used for superset
relations for sets (currently written as >= in Python). And maybe other
national or domain specific mathematical symbols. Imagine confusion when
>=, ≥, ⩾ and ⊃ are occurred in the same program.
