Now supposing you were on the phone to a Haskell programmer and you
wanted to say this
f :: Int -> Int
I imagine you might say "f maps Int to Int" or "function f has type
Int to Int". Both symbols have been translated directly to words. Nobody
would say "f, colon colon, Int, dash greater than, Int".
I would say: “f double-colon Int arrow Int”.
and so we could have several columns, for exmple:
symbol symbol-pronunciation meaningful-pronunc. definition-term
-> arrow to function (except
that it's used in lots of different places in syntax... function type,
lambda, case at least)
