Some notes for beginners on how to pronounce those strange Haskell operators etc.

This is just a rough start to this page. Obviously needs more work.

This can be a table with formal and informal ways of saying various operators and code snippets such as

Symbol Pronounciation
->
maps to, to
-<
=
is
==
equals
=>
is a witness for, implies
.
dot (could be used anywhere, but especially in, for example, Data.Char.ord), ring, compose (for example, negate . (+1)), (silent) (for example, forall a. (Num a) => a)
<-
drawn from, from
++
append
>>=
bind
>>
then
\
lambda
Example Pronounciation
f :: Int -> Int
f has type Int to Int

should we add informal, possibly bad suggestions like "then", "is", "gets"?
