I like -> much, *much* better than <|. The latter looks like we ran out of options but desperately wanted to shoe-horn something into an already heavily constrained syntax. Which, of course, is exactly what we are doing. ;-) But -> is a familiar and accepted ASCIIfication of an arrow. Given that the prototype relationship is directional (contra JJB's claim, which I didn't understand), it's natural to use an arrow. I understand that there are reasons to prefer the other direction, but sadly that's not an option due to the ambiguity of <-. All other options I've seen so far just look desperate. > Is it ok to not have it available for some possible future function shorthand? IMO, yes.
