To reinforce what Asmus said, it is always better to propose a symbol with a name describing the shape (variant of ‘box with arrow’) and annotation/alias of possible semantic usage. That is common practice and allow to stack multiple usages on a single shape. This is a much better path for acceptance in the UTC.
