It was recently suggest to me that it is unlikely that we will ever adopt -> as 
as function expression shorthand symbol and that this means we could consider 
using that symbol sequence for other purposes.  In particular, it would be a 
reasonable and possibly less controversial alternative to the <| symbol.  I 
would have no objection to that switch and have written the suggestion up at 
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php#suggestion_to_replace_with 

Some examples of this usage of -> include: 

  MyObject.prototype -> {a:1,b:2}
  appArrayBehavior->[0,1,2,3,4,5]
  let subclass = superclass -> function () {};
  var p = newRegExpMethods -> /[a-m][3-7]/

What do you think? Do you like -> better than <| ?  Is it ok to not have it 
available for functions?
