Hi Dominic

Hmm, name-wise I would have to be dishonourable and vote for myself on
this particular one. But, I rather suspect that Haskell-prime-prime
(or whatever it gets called in a few years time) will bite the bullet
and go for Unicode symbols, otherwise we'll be doomed to programs that
look somewhat 'expletive-deleted'.

Best wishes

Stephen
