I just have to say that the pipe symbol in many fonts makes for a really 
hideous triangle. It doesn't line up at all with the top and bottom of the 
less-than/greater-than symbols.

Yeah. In fact, the analogy to type theory would have us read the <: symbol as a 
binary predicate, which isn't what's going on here at all.

So... I don't find either of these lexemes very pleasant, but I don't have any 
beautiful alternatives to offer.
