I'm still very much a fan of leaving ~ as the allocation operator. Despite what
Patrick says, I'm pretty sure the reason why users are confused about it is
purely due to sub-par documentation, and not due to any actual inherent
problems with using a non-alphabetic symbol as an operator. Heck, we have
plenty of other non-alphabetic operators that don't cause confusion, why is
this one special?
I'll admit, I don't find the "confusing" argument very convincing. I
just think `box` looks better than `~`.
I'm warming up to this idea -- `box 10` does make more sense than `new 10`.
