Ok, let me take this opportunity to start a movement for a new standard character, the arrow. We'll get it added to all 8-bit character sets that don't already have one, have it included as a standard on all keyboards, and then nobody will be able to complain about the number of bytes or keystrokes... and it will just plain look better in all fonts if it isn't cobbled together from other characters.

If APL can do it, why not Perl?

I hope you all realise that I'm joking... I've got too many causes on the burners already right now ;-)
