I'm one of those evil people who loves to sprinkle Unicode throughout my
code. I thought it was pretty cool when I learned about the
UnicodeSyntax language extension, as well as the base-unicode-symbols
package. However, I am a little perplexed that this symbol is not
provided by either of those:
⊥
That is, the "bottom" symbol, Unicode #22A5 (\8869), which I have seen
in some programming texts as representing the undefined expression.
I tried just defining
⊥ = undefined
But ghc won't parse that. Why is this? And is there a way to make it work?
