Personally, though, I find myself increasingly attracted to the idea of
having a consistent notation for writing a lifetime everywhere one
appears, independently of the& symbol. (/lt/ is the only such notation
I've found yet that seems reasonable.)
I like this idea too, I just don't like /lt/ for that role.
Maybe `'`? (shades of ML)
&'lt Foo
Foo<'lt>
That actually doesn't look half bad to me.
Maybe `.`?
&.lt Foo
Foo<.lt>
I don't like Foo<.lt>, but &.lt Foo and Foo<lt> might be ok, though it
doesn't adhere to the principle (in that lifetime names are just like
any other identifier).
Another option:
&{lt} Foo
Foo<{lt}>
But the latter form feels pretty sigil heavy.
