This is similar to where I use 'Inf'. I understand your point. The wording ought to get fixed seems a bit strong, though.

A patch might be accepted, I have no idea. Nerdy things are possible under use utf8; as of today. One can write valid code which PerlMonks won't even display correctly (I used a GitHub Page). Paul Evans is experimenting with Unicode characters as infix operators (e.g. Syntax::Operator::Identical), since according to his musings Perl is running short on unused ASCII characters for that purpose. Your proposal fits into the same category.
