or similar, e.g. give the brackets a prefix to differentiate them firmly as 'hyper'. Personally, I still don't mind that extra char, because it makes it extra-super-obvious; as we've seen (from the 60+ messages posted in the last twelve hours, sheesh), hyper is a concept that people definitely need "alerting" of. And no sigil, so it doesn't conflict(?) with anything else.
