FYI, Cayenne used the center dot as composition. See the System$HO module.

I remember liking it but I think the ring operator would be closer to
mathematics notation and indeed the best choice.

I am not sure how this look in other people's editors and mail-
readers, but on my machine (Mac OS X Tiger) there
is significantly more white space after the symbol than before. Is
that normal?
For emacs, just bind a key (C-. say) to (ucs-insert
#X2218). ucs-insert comes from ucs-tables.

You can also activate the TeX input method using C-u C-\ TeX RET (if
leim is installed). Then you can insert many characters by typing

Sounds easy enough. I'll test emacs and my terminal and see about it.

Gah! I managed to send that without a content-type field
(for bizarre reasons which I won't elaborate right
now). Here it is again with what I hope is the right (utf-8)
type, which ought to make it more legible in some email
readers.

That's great but
1) I have no idea how to type it. Can I easily and comfortably? In em
At http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/wiki/CompositionAsDot ,
there is a list of possible Unicode replacements for the '.'
operator. Oddly, the canonical one is missing (from
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2200.pdf ):
2218 RING OPERATOR
= composite function
