+1. Using a symbol like an arrow makes a lot of sense when there is a clear
directionality in the operation (e.g. chasing a chain of pointers in C), but
the lack of consensus as to which direction the arrow should point in seems
likely to be indicative of a larger problem - that either choice is going to be
backwards, unintuitive, and confusing for a significant proportion the users.

Apologies in advance for using a four letter word, but the following is simple,
a common word, is becoming available, and reads well to me:
let sub = sup with {p:1, q:2, r:3};
cheers,
