[Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: unicode-symbols-0.1.1

Hello, I would like the announce the release of my package unicode-symbols: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unicode-symbols It offers alternative symbols for a number of common functions and operators from the base and containers packages. When used in combination with the language extension UnicodeSyntax you can write really nice code. The only thing missing is a nice λ symbol. The documentation on hackage should be pretty self explanatory. For each symbol the documentation gives its exact definition. The source code however, probably due to a bug in hscolour, is totally unreadable. To view the sources simply download the package and use a text editor. I tried to be conservative with the choice of unicode symbols. I have defined the division sign (÷) to be (/). But it could just as well be defined as 'div'. I do not know what would be the logical choice. Another choice that could lead to some discussion is the definition of (⊂) to be 'Data.Set.isProperSubsetOf' and (⊆) to be 'Data.Set.isSubsetOf'. An alternative choice would be to have (⊊) for 'isProperSubsetOf' and (⊂) for 'isSubsetOf'. I choose the former because it is more symmetrical with (<) and (≤). This package was inspired by unicode-prelude from Péter Diviánszky: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unicode-prelude Regards, Roel van Dijk
